While '''''Main''''' page articles are reserved for traditional neutral point-of-view (NPOV) subjects (e.g., Accounting, Immigration, Entertainment, etc.), which are subject to open-editing capabilities, the protected '''''Directory''''' page content can advocate, promote, advertise and provide sales contact information for specific companies, organizations, entities, individuals, locations, branches, products, services, etc.
