Amnesia test
I'm still reviewing Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Elstree Project. One piece of advice I'd recommend for anyone with a WP:COI attempting to write an article is the amnesia test:
- Forget everything you know about The Elstree Project; act as if you know nothing
- Go back to your sources and re-read them
- Think about what information those sources have to offer, and include that information in the article
- If you find that you can't write about a piece of information you'd like to include because it isn't covered in your sources, then don't include it. We don't want original research.
- If you find that you can't write barely much of anything at all, then the subject probably isn't notable for Wikipedia.
Just some thoughts. Cheers, Michaelzeng7 (talk) 04:29, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Help! I'm trying to cite a source on The Elstree Project, where it states Roger Moore as one of the interviewees. There are no third party sources to verify this, but the Project's website has a behind the scenes photo of their interview with Roger Moore, which proves it to be true. I've looked at WP:SELFSOURCE but feel the guidelines are too open to interpretation.

- I'd usually say that if there is no third-party source for a certain fact, that fact likely isn't all that important in the first place. If no one but them bothers to mention that interview, neither should we. Huon (talk) 00:36, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- It's been reported in a print newspaper, but not online, so it's hard to prove there's been an article! Howie ☎ 00:48, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
