The typical self-written company page gets people like me putting an {{advert}} tag on it.
You may want to take a look at the actions of an editor who, undeniably, writes mostly about people and places in the part of the world where he lives. Some of the articles, and especially some of the wikilinks to those articles from other articles, for example the link from "Pork pie" to "Michael Kirk (butcher)"[1] look a lot more promotional than anything I would write about people and places in my part of the world, where there are also a lot of active Wikipedians who write mostly about local topics. Maybe it's just volunteer expression of personal opinion, which perhaps is backed up by opinion in reliable sources, but it's an odd-looking editing pattern.
