Talk:Mercantile Library Company (Philadelphia)

Unreliable sources
AdoTang, the DYK nomination has been put on hold, due to doubt whether Mural Arts Philadelphia and OCF Realty are reliable sources. The easiest way to resolve the issue would be to remove the sentences involved. what do you think?

The disused library building remained the property of the Philadelphia city government until it was sold to a private investor in 2006. Though it has changed hands over the years since, no serious attempts have been made to expand or restore the building, and it has reportedly experienced water leak damage from neglect. A mural commemorating the library's 20th century history was painted on the Mercantile Library building in 2019. Though the mural was intended to be temporary, it remains on the building.

 * I have removed the sentences above and but has been vacant and left in a state of disrepair since from the lead. TSventon (talk) 12:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry for not checking in. Yeah, that sounds fine. I just went for those sources because there are very few I can find on this. AdoTang (talk) 16:44, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Also you said you were also thinking of adding another hook about how the 1877 fire originated from Fox's American Theatre considering it was in DYK recently, but I can't find a source that clearly states the connection. What kind of connection are you looking for, I believe that The Philadelphia Inquirer mentions both buildings? TSventon (talk) 10:45, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
