Help me!

Please help me with creating a page about a graphic-design tool website that creates customizable promotional graphics for small businesses, musicians, event promoters, churches, non-profit organizations etc. but I cannot do so myself due to a personal conflict of interest. I researched on this and found out that the best way to go about it is to request someone from the Wikipedia community to write the article on your behalf by providing them the basic information and a list of external links that talk about the website. How do I proceed ahead with this?

Thank you for recognizing your conflict of interest. You can visit Requested Articles and follow the procedure there to ask others to write about this website- but it is severely backlogged. You would probably be just as well off to simply wait for an independent editor to take note of your website and write about it themselves. Please note that in order for this website to merit an article, it must have extensive coverage in independent reliable sources(not press releases, routine announcements, or brief mentions) that indicates how the notability guidelines for websites at WP:NWEB are met. Not every website merits an article here. If you just want to tell the world about your website, you may find it more useful to use an alternative outlet. 331dot (talk) 08:17, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

331dot,@331dot:,331dot Hey! I understand your concern but I'm not looking for promotional content for the website. I only want to create an informative page about PosterMyWall (https://www.postermywall.com) as a graphic design tool solely. I see that there are pages on Wikipedia for some of the other graphic-design tool websites such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canva https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucidpress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Spark

If I provide the required information, can someone completely neutral write the article on our behalf, if it interests them, ofcourse?

Merely providing information is considered promotional here. Wikipedia is not a forum to merely provide information; it is only interested in summarizing what independent reliable sources state about a subject. If you truly feel that your website meets Wikipedia notability guidelines, you should visit Requested Articles as I stated above. 331dot (talk) 10:25, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

I would add that other articles on such things existing does not automatically mean yours merits one too. Each page is judged on it's own merits. 331dot (talk) 10:27, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
