Florence Flea Market

Article with no notability, and unlikely to be important outside the local area. Harro5 00:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article was requested of me by a client, Harro5. Admin UltraExactZZ helped me with it so that it would be correctly encyclopedic.

Please do not delete.

Thank you,

Delete unless evidence of notability can be provided. Do you have some news stories on it you can cite, say? JJL (talk) 00:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have added several links to the page that reference other Websites, as well as paper publications, in which the flea market is listed.

The references include the State of South Carolina's official tourism site, two flea market directories, the flea market's Chamber of Commerce listing, and the official tourism guide published by the city.

Please let me know if anything else needs to be done in order to make this article worthy of keeping.

Thanks for the help given thus far.

Comment As I indicated to Mjpeanut26, we're going to need some sort of news coverage to show that the site is notable. Visitor's guides can prove that the site exists, which is OK as far as it goes, but we need to show that the market is actually notable - which we don't, currently. In userfying the article, I was hoping that we could take some additional time to find those sources and add them; this version of the article seems premature. I'll see if I can find anything.

comment A news search turns up a bit, and there is at least a passing mention in "Romanticism and Behavior: Collected Essays II". But the local news site doesn't seem to get any hits on this and everything I find in the news is from 1975 and seem to be in passing (can't tell: behind pay walls). I tend to think flea markets that have a long history are notable, but I can't find enough to prove this is that. Hobit (talk) 01:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)*[reply]
comment I did find two articles that covered a raid on counterfeit goods. Websites below:

SC Secretary of State article
2007 NewsObserver article
Will this suffice? I'm sure it's not what my client wants mentioned, but if it will keep the article online, so be it. Melissa Mjpeanut26 (talk) 01:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
