- Hi, I thought I'd help out with your reference formatting, and discovered that all your references are websites promoting the pub or restaurant. The article requires secondary references to prove notability. Yoninah (talk) 00:17, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- The Sherlock Holmes Society of London is not promoting the pub/restaurant but is an independent organisation which curates the collection and, because of its association with Holmes, held a lunch there. I have had a try at adding more general references and external links including from the Whitbread printed catalogue of 1957 and Harrison's 1972 book, if off-line cites are OK. I have also added a link to the British Pathé News site which filmed the pub after it opened. Jack1956 (talk) 07:14, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- No, I started writing it from new on 25 May and nominated it for DYK on 5 June. It is not an expansion - I have written the whole thing. Jack1956 (talk) 19:32, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- Well, our guideline is 5 days give or take, but this is 12 days... Hmm. Can we give this much leeway? Thanks, Matty.007 19:36, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- It would be a shame as I have worked hard on this article. Jack1956 (talk) 10:50, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- What about the GA route? I have asked Crisco of his opinion. Thanks, Matty.007 10:53, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- I think twelve days is a bit too long, sorry. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:58, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
