I cut the history of the farm before T bought it. David notMD (talk) 01:55, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

@David notMD: Thank you, David not MD, NOW I get it. I was thinking that was factual, and it was, but I see it was more about the land than the Sanctuary and thus, could be seen as advertising. I appreciate your changes. Can I ask your opinion one more time? I went to the Gentle Barn's site and, based on their format, added sections for "external links" and "See also" on Tamerlaine's article. I also added more on what the sanctuary is doing NOW, since your changes made me realize I hadn't really mentioned that (and I noticed other animal sanctuary sites do the same). Do you think these changes are acceptable, or do they revert it back to sounding too marketing-y? Here is the Gentle Barn's page for ease of reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gentle_Barn Thank you again for any help you have. I appreciate it!

Other articles exist is considered a weak argument, as there are hundreds of thousands of the six million articles that do not meet Wikipedia's current standards. Drafts are rarely Declined because of External links or See also. What is essential is citing published content written about T by people who have no connection to T. T (you) describing what T does and citing T does not contribute to notability. Best wishes from an omnivore who has vegetarians, but not vegans, in extended family.
