What has the company done that is special? Did it innovate in some special way? Was it involved in some notable affair? Is it the market leader in some domain?
If it's just another wiki farm that happens to have a PR department worth its money then it doesn't necessarily have to be listed in Wikipedia.
Note that I'm not saying that PBWiki shouldn't be listed (I don't know them, after all), but that I'm saying that hits on Google News don't imply that it _must_ be listed.
Deletions occur all the time. If you think an article got unfairly deleted, resurrect it and put in better citations.
On top of that, PBWiki is not even a competitor to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the wiki. MediaWiki is the software powering Wikipedia. PBwiki's software may compete with MediaWiki. PBwiki's hosting service competes with neither MediaWiki nor Wikipedia --- neither "product" is in the hosting business.
