Talk:Thresher & Glenny

Article Deletion
I have posted a message on User:HJ Mitchell Talk Page, in the hope that a resolution can be reached with regards to the deletion of the Thresher & Glenny Wikipedia article. If you have any further questions then please post them on my Talk Page. Thanks, BePoWiki (talk) 15:37, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Timeline - verifiable facts already copied to History section
The first 3 bits of reffed text and their refs are now in the 'History' section of the article. The 4th ref is dated 1921 which is a bit odd for a 1936 event so I haven't used it. The other claimed facts here are entirely unsupported - please feel free to find citations for them and then to add them back into the History. I doubt we should have a Timeline List as well as a History - if you do feel like adding it back with a bunch of refs, please provide a rationale for using a (deprecated) List and for any duplication of the History you may be creating. Thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:40, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

The obvious image would be a new photo of the shop. Meanwhile we could use a WW1 ad for a greatcoat from http://www.oldmagazinearticles.com/article.php?Article_Summary=782 under the FUR "poster" classification, I think? Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:11, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Chiswick Chap,
 * I could speak to Thresher & Glenny directly to see what images they can offer us for use in the article. If not, I think your poster suggestion is a good one.
