finding an easy way out of meeting the requirements of Wikipedia is impossible. sources should be reputable, not client-endorsed articles. the vry first thing that I would do is examine the sources given by the client.

The key is having significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources, not just press releases, interviews, or company profiles.
For ORM clients, check notability before starting and be transparent about conflicts of interest, paid editing or trying to force an article through usually creates more problems than it solves.

TBH my first point of consideration would be the type of coverage the client has before considering the concept of creating a wikipedia page. If the client has mainly PR coverage, interviews, and/or paid coverage, then it is likely that the editor will not like it. you have to have valid coverage.

However the editors are likely to oppose such efforts in case there is only promotional content. ORM services requires that their clients obtain coverage first before attempting to get a wikipedia page published.
the first thing I need to do is to analyze the coverage that my client currently has. In almost all cases payment for PR or interviews is meaningles. the client needs to have independent coverage that covers the person or company. without this coverage, there is no point in creating a wikipedia page.

notability is brutal lol, if the client has no real press coverage there's basically nothing to work with imo
