Talk:Fort Payne, Alabama

Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry? The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

"Local" section
This looks a lot like a self-promotion of a family business. It has already been tagged for lack of sources. I want to give the editor time to come up with some sources, and to make an argument here for the importance of the section. I suggest the person who put this in read the following:


 * WP:NOTADVERTISING
 * WP:PRIMARY (info on the kinds of sources you need - I would look for a news story on the store)
 * WP:CHEAT for a quick lesson on how to do links and stuff

And now I'm gonna shut up before I violate WP:BITE. Audemus Defendere (talk) 20:03, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Hurricanes
I didn't want to take out someone else's language, even if a little awkward. But, neither do I object to the deletion. It's been a long time since Opal, and longer since the one before that. Maybe some mention of the '93 blizzard? Audemus Defendere (talk) 20:49, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

"Local" Section 2
After having a few days to think about it, the section needs to be largely removed. It is about a single-store retail business, and therefore has issues with both WP:NOTADVERTISING and WP:NOTE. I did find a single Wiki quality source naming it as the largest furniture store in Alabama, adn it appears to possibly merit a passing reference in the article. The family history, and that of the store, does not meet WP:NOTE standards. As I added a "local attractions" section, I gave the store a sourced reference there, and a link.
