I am not sure if it would work but I am considering making a wikipedia article for a business in Nauvoo, the Press House Winery. When I looked up whether or not businesses could have wikipedia pages it said that they could as long as they are purely informational and not biased, or marketing in any way. The Press House Winery has it's own website that I could draw information from, and then I believe there are websites that talk about the winery that I could draw from as well.
