 | The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to LinkedIn unless the profile is an official account, "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article" and when the links to LinkedIn "provide the reader with unique content and are not prominently linked from other official websites". Wikipedia is not a directory for helping LinkedIn users find pages on LinkedIn. |
