deletion alert
[edit]Your article on Robert Temple Booksellers was nominated by another editor for deletion as promotional. As reviewing administrator, I though it was essentially historical, tho possibly over-detailed for WP , and I'm trying to rewrite it a little, as I am extremely interested in the subject. It would help very much if you could find another third party source. If you need any assistance, please ask me directly on my user talk page. There is no way I can prevent another editor from nominating it for a deletion discussion, and it might not stand. DGG ( talk ) 05:01, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
It was intended to be historical: changes in the use of computers by small businesses for typesetting from the 1970s onwards need documenting while the information is still available; so do the transformations that occurred in the rare and secondhand bookselling business during the same period. Booksellers were at the cutting-edge in both - and this firm, which developed its own software, provides a particularly good example! Somebody writing the history of bookselling in England in a hundred years would find the information very hard to come by.~~Oggle46 ~~
