OnTheMarket appears to advertise on EstateAgentToday. Perhaps they post these adverts gratis? Of course not. Why should Wikipedia do so then? Wikipedia has rules against this under [[WP:NOT]] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not specifically the section [[WP:NOTADVERTISING]] *5 '''Self-promotion.''' It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other. This includes the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which can be difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical sources is unacceptable. See [[Wikipedia:Autobiography]], [[Wikipedia:Notability]] and [[WP:SELFPROMOTION|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]]. *6 '''Advertising, marketing or public relations.''' Information about companies and products must be written in an [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|objective and unbiased style]], free of [[Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms#Puffery|puffery]]. All article topics must be [[WP:V|verifiable]] with [[WP:Independent sources|independent]], [[WP:Third-party sources|third-party sources]], so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable. [[Wikipedia:External links|External links]] to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify [[WP:N|notable]] organizations which are the topic of the article. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)]] for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing [[public service announcement]]s, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so. See also [[WP:FINANCIALCOI|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]]. That pretty much covers it - no promotion, advertising, marketing, or public relations allowed. Actually I missed something. The editor who posted the article was presumably paid - since he did not declare his paid status, he is violating the terms of use - see [[WP:Paid]].
