  You can’t edit Wikipedia pages on a topic to which you have a close connection/conflict of interest.

  Also WP:Notability

    Which is funny because it routinely happens as well as nation states hiring small teams that start edit wars occasionally IIRC.

      I mean yeah, but people also regularly steal things despite it being against the rules. Like those, wiki rules are enforced (theoretically) as a best effort.

    If you have a few or more references, then it has a better chance of surviving on Wikipedia. Otherwise, it’s considered low quality/importance.

  I did this and they removed it and I reposted it and then they threatened to ban me lol

  Granted this was decades ago when I was a teen, but I doubt they have changed.

    It’s much different now, you’d be banned without discussion.
