Comment: See WP:SIRS and the Acme worked example below. We need really good independent profiles, in depth, and trade publications are often not considered sufficiently independent. English Wikipedia can make it very hard for companies to get an entry in Wikipedia, most companies, even some quite large ones, will not get an article.
