A method can include identifying a first entity has an auto-created profile on a social network site or has a profile page that has been abandoned by an administrator of the profile page, identifying a user of the site includes the first entity in their profile or includes a second entity in their profile where the second entity includes an industry identifier that matches an industry identifier of the first entity, prompting the user determined to be associated with the first entity to verify data about the first entity in the auto-created profile or provide new data about the first entity, and updating the auto-created profile of the first entity in response to the user confirming that the prior data is incorrect or providing new data about the first entity.
