Can you please give me detailed instructions on how to request a Wikipedia page be written about Liquid I.V.? Samanthaliv (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The first step should be to determine whether Liquid I.V. is notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. To establish notability, we need multipe reliable sources that are independent of Liquid I.V. and have reported about the company in some detail, like newspapers or reputable magazines. The guideline WP:CORPDEPTH explains in a little more detail what we're looking for (and what kind of sources will not be helpful). A quick Google News search didn't turn up much beyond press releases (which are not independent sources); that doesn't look very promising.

If you have found the sources we need, you can request an article to be written at the relevant sub-page of WP:Requested articles, specifically Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics/Companies/F-L#L. Edit the "L" section on that page and add an entry for Liquid I.V. at the proper place in alphabetical order, with a very short description and links to the sources, like this:

*[[Liquid I.V.]], American beverage company<ref>Reliable source 1</ref><ref>Reliable source 2</ref><ref>Reliable source 3</ref>

You should make use of the code as it appears here (replacing "Reliable source 1" and so on with the relevant links, of course), not the <nowiki> and <code> tags that I used behind the scenes to have it displayed; I just removed such tags to get the "conflict of interest" box on your user page displayed properly. As an aside, if you work for the company and edit Wikipedia as part of your job, then a mere declaration of a conflict of interest is not quite enough; you'll also need to disclose that you're a paid editor.
