From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page is not OK; I'll try to explain why.
  • The only references are to the company itself; all articles must include secondary sources. For example, I could say on my myspace page that I'm the Queen of Sheba, and use that as a reference; it wouldn't be accepted. I'd have to have a reliable secondary source, such as, for example, a BBC News article about myself and my queenhood. For more info, see WP:V, WP:RS.
  • If secondary sources are not available to support facts, then those facts have to go. Assuming that you can find secondary sources to prove notability, I suspect the article will have to be much shorter than it is now, for the reasons above.
  • The article doesn't have any wikilinks. For example, the word "nutritional" could be linked to the article on nutrition, using the code [[nutritional|nutrition]], which would result in this: Kemin Industries is a nutrition ingredients manufacturer...
  • The name of the article should be surrounded by ''', so it looks like this: Kemin Industries is a...
  • Most important - I suspect you have a conflict of interest with this article. Therefore, I would strongly recommend two things;
  • a) Don't create the article yet; edit some other articles, 'get into' Wikipedia, and learn how things work first. For example, dive into WP:Community portal, and check the 'Help out' section. Add comments to the talk page of articles, get involved in discussions.
  • b) When you are ready to create the article, and if you can find enough sources, first read WP:COI and WP:BESTCOI. Follow the suggestions there, and you're much more likely to succeed - i.e. don't create it yourself, but instead request that it is created.
I sincerely hope that this helps; if you have further questions, you could place another {{helpme}} below here, or ask me directly on my own talk page - but, perhaps best of all, talk to us live.
Good luck with it all,  Chzz  ►  18:54, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
