  • No draft specified!

Droughers (talk) 15:51, 7 January 2017 (UTC) Had draft article refused... It is based on a construction company in Manchester UK now closed down. I am one of perhaps 10 people left with the knowledge of this company and give talks at local history groups. I presume its because of provenance, I only have the company's brochure and a book by John Gerrard, the rest is from direct family communication and personal experience. How do I progress with this please.

If no-one else has written about it, then the company probably fails our standards for notability of companies. To have an article here, a topic must not only exist but have been written about substantially, which in this case does not appear to be true. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

@Droughers: You may wish to consider alternative outlets for User:Droughers/sandbox. LocalWiki, for example, is intended for sharing local information such as local commercial history, without the need to show that the topic is notable or to cite reliable published sources. --Worldbruce (talk) 22:43, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
