Hi editors! My name is MaryKate, and I’m employed by Project Management Institute. I have an open request to make some changes to the infobox in their article, and wondered if I can improve its independent sourcing.

If somebody would like to take a peek at my proposed draft, click here. Let me know if there are any questions or concerns. Hope to see you over on the PMI Talk page! MK at PMI (talk) 19:38, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello WikiProject Business members,

I’ve created a draft article for User:P9vtech/B. Prabhakaran, a mining and steel industry executive who serves as Managing Director of Thriveni Earthmovers Pvt. Ltd. and Co-Promoter/Managing Director of Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited.

The article covers:

His career in the mining sector starting from the 1990s
Development of Thriveni Earthmovers as a mine development company
Role in Lloyds Metals’ ₹25,000 crore steel expansion project
Corporate social responsibility initiatives

I’m seeking feedback from business-focused editors on:

Corporate structure and business details
Industry context and significance
Notability assessment for business executives
Additional reliable business sources

Draft: User:P9vtech/B. Prabhakaran

Appreciate any input! P9vtech (talk) 07:20, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I’ve created a new article on Alberto Forchielli, a biography of a living person (BLP), translated from the current, accepted Italian Wikipedia page (it:Alberto Forchielli). This new version is based on current notability and sourcing, which resolves the concerns from the 2017 deletion. Feedback is welcome. Thanks! Digressivo (talk) 18:55, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP appears to be hosting competing claims to having invented self-service grocery stores. One claim is at Bernard Kroger and Kroger. The other is at Clarence Saunders and Piggly Wiggly and Keedoozle. I think the later was more of a vending machine format, but can someone with industry knowlege clear this up?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:56, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is this really notable? If yes, please add reliable sources. If not, let’s discuss deleting this or an alternative. Bearian (talk) 02:04, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Andrei Kirilenko that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Emiya1980 (talk) 22:24, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MarketLine is a publisher that provides information about businesses. I found it via Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library through EBSCO’s Business Source Complete, and I think it might be useful to editors who work on business articles. If you log in to TWL first, then this link might work. Otherwise, try searching for microsoft marketline in the main search box, and then open the PDF for the first item (“MarketLine Company Profile: Microsoft Corporation.”).

They produce reports called “Company profiles” about large publicly traded businesses, with a description of the business, founding dates, the names of key employees and a (very) little information about their previous positions, a timeline of product launches, mergers and acquisitions over the years, etc. For older companies, most of the information is in this timeline, which provides a short statement about key events (e.g., “Year: 1978 The company started its first international office in Japan as ASCII Microsoft”). The reports seem to get updated each year. The idea is that large businesses will subscribe to the reports, so they can figure out who their competitors are, find potential partners, write mind-numbing slide decks about the competitive landscape in their industry, etc.

It includes a separate section called “Company View” that copies information taken directly from corporate publications, and a SWOT analysis that does not appear to be anything a company would wish to publicize (“Microsoft faces threat from unauthorized access such as hackers, computer viruses and other related issues. Security breach could be a major threat to the company…”) and which I therefore assume is independent analysis. It ends with the statement that “Copyright of [the company name] Corporation MarketLine Company Profile is the property of MarketLine, a Progressive Digital Media business” (which I first misread as “Copyright of [the company]”).

These company profiles appear to me to be:

independent sources (except for the “Company View” section, which is labeled as being copied from corporate materials)
secondary sources (particularly the SWOT analysis section)
non-self-published (MarketLine is in the business of publishing these reports)
significant coverage (hundreds or sometimes thousands of words of prose, most of which is at least potentially usable in an article)
not biased (they’re not trying to either hype the businesses or to denigrate them)
potentially better than WP:PRIMARYNEWS articles, especially if the news article has little more than a passing mention of a company.

They also have “industry profiles”, e.g., a report titled “MarketLine Industry Profile: Foodservice in United Kingdom”. I don’t expect this to be useful for smaller businesses, but if there’s ever a question about where to find sources for a large company, this might be a good first step.

Hello! On behalf of Adtalem Global Education, which is a healthcare education company, I have submitted a few COI edit requests to improve the article from a Wikipedia perspective. The article has had two warning banners for over a decade and my requests are related to acquisitions and divestitures, history, campuses and enrollment, and finances.

I’m seeking editor assistance to review and implement the requests appropriately. Are any WikiProject Business editors able to take a look? Thanks for your consideration, Inkian Jason (talk) 15:53, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
