References edit

We have an issue with this article. There are currently three refs. Two are very very self-published (Blogspot and Users.on.net) and therefore need to be removed as they are not reliable sources. The last ref is the plans supplier, which is strictly a first party ref. I have done a search for other refs and come up empty-handed. Even the ubiquitous https://sailboatdata.com/, which has almost every sailboat ever made anywhere, in qualities over three, does not cover this design. This article really needs proper refs cited, or else sadly it will need to go for deletion as just not notable. - Ahunt (talk) 01:54, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I have managed tracked down a secondary source for this article and on the hunt for a second. Biggles42 (talk) 04:48, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Super, that would be great. It would be odd if a boat with this many sailing wasn't reviewed in any magazines anywhere! I did check Google Books, which has some old sailing magazines scanned and came up empty there, too. - Ahunt (talk) 12:09, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I don't supposed you have a photo of one that you took, do you? - Ahunt (talk) 12:12, 26 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately not; I was initially looking at splitting the Hartley TS16/18/21 page as I own a TS16 (currently 3 boats on one page) and thought creating this page was a good introduction to major editing. Biggles42 (talk) 06:28, 27 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Splitting that page would be a good idea as long as you have enough refs to support each separate article! - Ahunt (talk) 11:25, 27 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
It has been partly done, with a single type now at Hartley TS16. I could not find refs for more. - Ahunt (talk) 23:06, 22 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
