User:Filll/AGF Challenge Library-Contact the author of this article and ask for more information to include

.
 * 1) I've picked more than one - but this is part of the process. Dan Beale-Cocks  22:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I'd explain to the author about WP:RS, WP:OR, WP:V, and WP:N and ask for more information to establish the library's notability. If no response in a few days, redirect and merge. Karanacs (talk) 18:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Alex Bakharev (talk) 03:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Ask the author for some sources. Kaldari (talk) 19:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Do this first and wait for the response, if any. JMiall  ₰  20:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) This is the first step. Trying to improve it and then merging it would be the second.  Proposing it for deletion would be the third.  --Taiwan boi (talk) 00:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Start by contacting the user and explaining WP:N. If they feel that there is notability of the library, then at that point ask for sources. If there is no change in the article, then its time for AfD. DigitalC (talk) 03:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) I agree with Dan Beale-Cocks in that this is a part, probably the first, of the process. I'd also offer what assistance I could - a quick phone call to the library in question would probably glean some good info - history or email contacts, perhaps even a historical society that might have photos or records they were willing to add to it. Some help to the author on spelling, grammar, layout, wikimarkup and POV would also be of assistance to them, as it would appear that the author is new to WP.Akitora (talk) 14:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) Should be discussed with the author, if no proof is found. Deletion. ~ American  Eagle  02:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) What is there at present does not establish notability and part of it is questionable under WP:BLP. However, the library might be notable for something not mentioned. If it turns out not, then a single line in the article about the town that its library was founded in 1939 is all it really merits. Sam Blacketer (talk) 19:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) Putting stuff up for deletion willy nilly is silly, if the author has the materials available to improve it. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 12) This is definitely an important step. Doczilla  STOMP! 04:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) Let the author know it needs validation, make a note on its discussion page for all to consider and for someone to cooberate. Preceeding signed by: Bnaur Talk 02:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) This would be a step in the process. Steve Crossin (talk) 06:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) I agree with DigitalC's solution. BrownHornet21 (talk) 17:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) Ask author for refs; gently explain notability. Try to reach an agreement, which could well be deletion as not notable - unless my web searches were inadequate. --  Chzz  ►  11:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * 17) I'd ask the author for references that mention the library, as WP articles have to be reliable, and say they could add a line or two to the town's article instead. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 18) AGF and interact with the author. Poor grammar and apparent lack of notability need not mean it is all nonsense. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Feel at home 09:43, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
