How long does it take to get a Wikipedia page approved?

Wikipedia approval timelines vary widely and are not controllable from outside the platform. Articles for Creation reviews depend on the reviewer queue, the complexity of the draft, and the strength of the sourcing. Routine cases with clear notability and clean sourcing often clear review in a few weeks. Borderline cases with questions about whether the notability bar is met can take several months as reviewers request additional sources or push back on specific claims. Cases that get held up by reviewer concerns about COI or promotional tone, even when properly disclosed, can take longer still. Direct publishing through a user account in mainspace is faster (it goes live immediately) but riskier because it bypasses the protective AfC review and the article can be nominated for deletion as soon as it appears. For client engagements we plan for weeks to a few months on the AfC path, communicate that range to the client at the start, and update them on status as the review progresses. We do not promise specific dates.
