Allan's Mill

AfDs for this article:

Originally it was a copyvio copy and paste from a library site, the CSD was removed twice by the creator and then once by an IP. No evidence of why this is notable, has not received extensive coverage in reliable secondary sources, and is still very similar to the page it was first copied from. Sources are a smattering of town sites, personal sites and passing references in books. The "major force in the town's economy" line is unsubstantiated, there were many flour mills during this time and there is nothing to show why this one is significant.

  • Strong Keep - I spent 10 minutes on the article and it looks a lot better. The mill itself is notable ... there are good resources on the subject out there. The original author will probably expand the article (he contested the speedy delete). Onefinalstep (talk) 00:08, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
  • None of the wording is the same as the wording in the references other than key words like "Canada" The mill is a landmark in the town of Guleph, and the mill is responsible for Guleph's economic development during the 19th century, Guleph currently is a city of over 100,000 residents. This article was also a requested article -Sopher99

*Keep* Notable landmark, still essentially plagarism of the original copyvio though. in town history book or something explaining how it came about. Would suggest someone write about it on a "Landmarks of Guelph" type page or something if more sources cant be found.--Savonneux (talk) 05:33, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

  • Comment - Could you please reference the source that you say the paragraph is infringing? Also could you add to the articles discussion page the the comparative sections so that we can see if you are correct? Onefinalstep (talk) 18:51, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
