Making a wikipedia page is going nowhere

Finally getting round to making a wikipedia page properly. I've read the official documentation and i'm still unsure. Has anyone got a process that holds up? Happy to share more detail if it helps.

For a company the bar is higher than for a person, editors are tough on anything that reads like marketing. Coverage of funding rounds and product launches usually gets dismissed as routine. And please don't pay one of the agencies that promise a guaranteed page. Plenty of those are scams, and the ones that do get something live often see it deleted once editors spot undisclosed paid editing, which can leave a worse trail than no page at all.

are your drafts getting declined, or deleted after going live? either way it's almost always notability. wikipedia wants significant coverage in independent, reliable sources - proper news outlets, books, trade press - and your own site, press releases and paid features don't count. if that coverage doesn't exist yet, no amount of rewriting will save it. also if it's about you or your own company there's a conflict of interest rule. you're meant to disclose it and submit through Articles for Creation instead of publishing directly, otherwise editors tend to pull it fast.
