Referencing Tewkesbury
Hi Delwboy,

Thanks for your sterling efforts in referencing the article about Tewkesbury but can I draw your attention to the requirement for third party sources. The point is not to establish that such things exist but that they are notable and can be verified. Much of the article's content could be boldly removed due to the lack of notability. Local festivals, for example, could be mentioned in a general paragraph about festivals but each one would not be notable enough to warrant detailing in the article and supporting links the event's own website can be seen as spam. It is a problem with such "local" articles that people see them as an opportunity to promote their own club/event without considering that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.
