Photo lab
[edit]Hello. You state "I am not an employee or owner of the business."; I would ask if you have any association with this business(except for possibly being a customer). Thanks 331dot (talk) 10:23, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
More info.
[edit]It's Adelaide; everyone knows everyone. But I do know the owners, yes. Had mentioned to them recently how odd it is that long-established family owned businesses in Adelaide don't seem to attract much attention unless they're a brewery or a winery. Thought I might do something about it. Chris B. Lewis (talk) 10:42, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Merely knowing the owners should be OK(unless you are editing at their request, which you don't seem to be). Thank you for the clarification. The article would be helped immensely if instead of citing the business' own website that you cite independent reliable sources that give in depth coverage of it and indicate how it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for businesses(please review at WP:ORG). Primary sources should generally be avoided except in certain circumstances, mostly indisputable factual information like location, number of employees, etc. 331dot (talk) 10:46, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Will be doing so once I have more than mobile internet to work with.
[edit]Telstra cable has decided to go down for the third night running. Have save the html though, just in case I need to resubmit; I know how these things can be. Chris B. Lewis (talk) 10:48, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
The article Atkins photo lab has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Relies mostly on WP:SPS, little evidence of passing WP:CORPDEPTH.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SITH (talk) 21:44, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
