How do I get a Wikipedia article created for myself without it being deleted?
Yes. There is a legitimate, established path to a Wikipedia article about yourself: follow the disclosed conflict-of-interest process in four steps. Assess notability honestly, build authoritative third-party coverage where it is thin, draft in a user sandbox and submit through Articles for Creation with the COI relationship disclosed, then engage community reviewers on the merits. It works for subjects who genuinely meet the notability standard. What fails is trying to shortcut it.

How do you prepare a company for Wikipedia readiness over 12-18 months?
A 12 to 18 month Wikipedia readiness program runs four parallel tracks: Press strategy, Authority development, Entity work, and quarterly readiness re-assessments. It moves to Draft and Submit only when the source record clearly supports it. Build the source base first; write the article second.

How much media coverage do you need to qualify for a Wikipedia page?
Wikipedia sets no fixed number of sources. In practice, plan for three to five substantial independent pieces for a clear-cut case, and ten or more for borderline or controversial subjects that will likely face deletion review. What counts as "substantial" is qualitative: each piece must address the subject directly and in depth, not merely quote it or mention it in passing.

How do you build notability for a Wikipedia page over time?
Building Wikipedia notability is a multi-quarter program: months 1, 6 focus on press strategy to create substantive independent coverage, months 7, 12 deepen authority through additional outlets and recognition, and months 12, 18 add entity infrastructure work and a quarterly readiness re-assessment before a go/no-go decision on article creation. Wikipedia requires sustained coverage across multiple reliable independent secondary sources, not a single placement.
