What’s involved in getting a Wikipedia article published?

Getting a Wikipedia article published is a process, not an event, and the work runs roughly six steps. First, sourcing analysis: we audit the subject’s existing coverage in reliable secondary sources and identify whether the notability bar can be met as the record stands. If not, the recommendation may be to defer the article until the coverage exists. Third, submission: the draft is submitted with the COI relationship fully disclosed on the user page and the draft Talk page. Fourth, community review: an uninvolved Articles for Creation reviewer evaluates the draft against notability and policy. Fifth, response to feedback: any concerns raised by the reviewer are addressed substantively, with revisions and additional sourcing as needed. Sixth, publication: the article moves to mainspace once the reviewer accepts it. The entire process typically runs weeks to a few months, and trying to compress it tends to produce articles that get deleted shortly after they appear.
