This page gives a short worked example of how the Bharatpedia:Notability (organizations and companies) criteria are applied. The company in this example is fictional.
Example: "Sharma Snacks Private Limited"
Sharma Snacks is a regional snack maker. A search finds:
- its own website and social media pages: not independent, so these do not count;
- two short listings in a business directory, with no editorial content: trivial coverage, so these do not count;
- a one-paragraph mention in a national newspaper's list of regional food brands: coverage of the company itself, but brief.
Result: there is no significant coverage of the company in independent, reliable sources, so the company does not meet the primary criteria and an article about it would not be kept.
If, instead, the company had been the subject of a full feature in a national newspaper and a profile in a trade magazine, both independent of the company, the primary criteria would be met.
