Default Companies in Wikipedia

Major corporations have an informational page in Wikipedia.

My question is it possible to get a page for a smaller company?

I'm not just asking if I can get a page for a website, but for a real business.

HeDir.com ranks #1 or #2 for "human edited directory"

DebtPlan.org ranks #3 for "debt consolidation california"

Advertising

Please do not try to promote your product or business. Please do not insert external links to your commercial website unless a neutral party would judge that the link truly belongs in the article; we do have articles about products like Kleenex or Sharpies, or notable businesses such as McDonald's, but if you are writing about a product or business be sure you write from a neutral point of view, that you have no conflict of interest, and that you are able to find references in reliable sources that are independent from the subject you are writing about.
This might help.

Read this page for more info on starting a new wiki page. They want you to write the article with only the facts (no sales pitch).
