Loves Farm advice

[edit]

Hi - writing a new article is hard, because there are all sorts of policies and guidelines that you can fall foul of concerning notability, sourcing and so on. There is some guidance at WP:FIRST, which might help you. One thing that you're going to need is independent sources - that is to say, reliably published sources that are independent of the subject. The community website isn't independent, but I did find this BBC news article about the construction of the development which might help. Another thing to consider is whether we need a page about Loves Farm, or whether it ought to be described in our existing article on St Neots (I see there's already some stuff in there concerning the development, which could be expanded). I don't have a view on that - it would come down to editorial judgment, and whether there is enough reliably published material about it. Hope that helps.
