I can find similar language in more than a dozen other wikipedia entries about historic properties in the United States, some of them not even as significant or historic as the Smyser-Bair House. The entry is not advertising the business, it's focused on the presence and history of the house. Many of the references, especially regarding the history, come from historic archives and books. For rooms that are named after people who lived in the house in the 1800s and 1900s, we link to the website. If we edit out descriptive words about the house that are not attributed to third-party sources such as newspaper articles, and we focus more on the history, will that work? Another question: we like the idea of listing the individually named rooms since they're named after historic residents from the 1800s and 1900s, and are wallpapered with prints from other historic mansions throughout the U.S. If we edit out descriptions like "beautiful" and "comfortable," can we keep those references, or should we focus only on the history itself? Our intention with this entry is not to promote business. We, like many residents of York, feel that the Smyser-Bair House is an important piece of history and would like this nationally-recognized property to have a presence on Wikipedia as so many other historic properties do."
Thanks,
- Hi, SM Zakir Hasan Anu who is we? Also in addition to being incredibly promotional the prior submission was a copyright violation. Aside from that, notability is not inherited. Naming rooms after notable people does not make the building or place notable itself.Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 22:50, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
