The topic of an article must already be covered in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. These include academic journals, books, newspapers, magazines, and media with a reputation for fact checking. Social media, press releases or corporate/professional profiles do not qualify.
Copyright
Do not copy-paste or closely paraphrase material from sources. Rather, summarize what the source says in your own words.
Referencing
