Problem

With going to universal points of contact, it is possible to get skewiff with things. One - not every school in perth is WP:N nor is every library, nor is every scout group, for instance. The best way to evaluate whether your local library is even notable - is where to go - to say you want to publicise your library is WP:NOT not what WP:ABOUT....

Very much worth speaking/linking with local editors. satusuro 09:26, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you - I think what you are saying is that our library is not WP:N. I just thought that the more places and subjects which are written about, the better the database of information. There are other libraries on WP so I thought our little library was valid. We have won a few awards for our digital stuff but always fail to get noticed by the public as we are always hidden under the main library name. I guess the main library would have no problem establishing a page and we would have to sit under their banner-AGAIN. Thank you for your input. History6011 (talk) 00:21, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

It depends, a long term editor might find enough WP:RS to qualify a local library for an entry - this is not a database of info - it is an online encyclopledia - pity you havent been adequately shown the difference between the two. If you are in the library and contactable - perhaps a local wikipedian can walk you through the issues and the best way to look at the issues that arise. satusuro 00:24, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

closer

It is really better to let an editor other than yourself to remove tags - specially if you created the article. The notion of review and appraisal apart from the creator is not spelt out very well for such issues - as to whether the issues are resolved depends from what perspective. satusuro 01:00, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
