Policy on autobigraphical information

There is a Wikipedia policy on autobiographical information, but as you can imagine, it is not easy to enforce because not all editors are as open about their affiliations as you are with your user name. However, I never challenged the article on this basis (see ignore all rules) since I believe that the company is notable enough. The problem is that the article is written to promote the company and reads like an advertisement. If you fix that aspect and make it more neutral (which is very difficult to do when you have a personal attachment) then the article should be allowed to stand.
