User talk:Chrisplume/Daily Mail - Machine Room Trainee Scheme

As a newcomer to Wikipedia I am not familiar with the guidelines. Having read the discussions relating to what is 'notable' it appears to be incredibly complex. The article is an attempt to record the existence of a unique scheme that ran during a fascinating period of industrial history. The hope was to link to other articles relating to the themes of that time, e.g. Margaret Thatcher's attempts to change industrial relations in the UK during the 1980's and limit the power of trade unions; the demise of the closed shop that has dominated the UK national newspaper industry for decades. I genuinley hope that the page survives as I feel it is a useful resource of something that has not been previously a matter of public record.

advice
This is unlikely to make a full article, but if you can get enough references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, you're welcome to try again. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not for original research, but an encyclopedia, where   people look to find information about things that are already considered important. I'd suggest instead you make a short paragraph out of this and add it to the article on the union or the newspaper.  DGG ( talk ) 18:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
