This article was written by Studdymx, who, by their own admission, is the owner of the inn. This could be seen as a conflict of interest, but won't necessarily be if wikipedia guidelines are followed. Mostly, it you can establish why the Black Boy Inn is notable enough to warrant a wikipedia article and provide external resources, I think it would meet the standards. Nothing that you've written thus far crosses the line and makes this seem like an advertisement (which would not be tolerated). I'd advise doing some more research and describing why the inn is notable, as well as the history of the area, and I think there's a good chance your article will meet the standards and be kept. In this case, I think it was fair of you to disclose your relationship to the article's subject. Just make sure you don't turn the article in the direction of sounding like an sdvertisement as that would surely be a conflict of interest. If you need help sorting this out, let me know. Thank you.[[User:Hananekosan|Hananekosan]] ([[User talk:Hananekosan|talk]]) 02:21, 21 August 2009 (UTC) |

Discussion of whether author has conflict of interest
This article was written by Studdymx, who, by their own admission, is the owner of the inn. This could be seen as a conflict of interest, but won't necessarily be if wikipedia guidelines are followed. Mostly, it you can establish why the Black Boy Inn is notable enough to warrant a wikipedia article and provide external resources, I think it would meet the standards. Nothing that you've written thus far crosses the line and makes this seem like an advertisement (which would not be tolerated). I'd advise doing some more research and describing why the inn is notable, as well as the history of the area, and I think there's a good chance your article will meet the standards and be kept. In this case, I think it was fair of you to disclose your relationship to the article's subject. Just make sure you don't turn the article in the direction of sounding like an sdvertisement as that would surely be a conflict of interest. If you need help sorting this out, let me know.
