Suters Limited

I took a look at your draft on Suters Limited now at User:Philip1951/sandbox. While you have labeled it a "Brief History" it is in fact rather long for a typical Wikipedia article on a business. It should probably be edited to reduce the amount of detail it contains. But more importantly, a Wikipedia article needs to demonstrate that its subject is notable. This term is used in a special way on Wikipedia. A subject is generally considered to be notable if multiple independent 3rd-party reliable sources have published significant content about the subject. This does not include passing mentions, directory listings or the like. It also does not include content published by the subject of the article or by people or entities closely associated with the subject. It also does not include near verbatim reprints of press releases or other republications of the subject's own words. See WP:CORP for more details on this.

In addition, significant facts in a Wikipedia article should be cited inline to reliable sources, so that readers can verify them and see where the information comes from. Uncontroversial facts 9such as the date that a business was founded) can be cited to primary sources such as a businesses own publications, but any interpretations and any even slightly controversial statements should be cited to an independent reliable source. See Referencing for beginners for details on how to add citations to Wikipedia drafts and articles.

Also, Wikipedia articles should have significant terms wiki-linked. This is done by putting double square brackets around the term to be linked, such as [[Industry]], which makes the link Industry.

Please read "Your first article" for more on how to create a valid and useful Wikipedia article. I hope this was helpful. DES ^(talk) 15:08, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suters Department Stores of Slough and Uxbridge

Suter and Son opened a shop at 101-103 High Street, Slough in September 1920. The former owner of G W Suter, Drapery and his son Clarence were initially involved in this drapery. In 1924 the business of Garrick & Coles in High Street, Uxbridge was acquired and Clarence’s three other brothers – Arthur, Frank and John became involved with the business. As a result of an inheritance from Frank Denning a very wealthy self made man and a former Mayor of Croydon and managing director of Welford's Surrey Diaries, the family had plenty of funds to expand the business. The Slough premises was rebuilt and in Uxbridge premises across the road from the original Garrick & Coles building was acquired and a brand new department store on three floors was completed by 1938 and the company became known as Suters Ltd. After the second World War smaller units were acquired in Windsor, Ruislip and Ashford (Middlesex) but were disposed of in the early 1960s and the Slough High Street site being re-built and opened by Canadian actor Robert Beatty in 1962. This store had four trading floors plus soft furnishing workshops car parking to the rear. The company employed a large number of employees in these two modern department stores. They worked with other similar independent departments store groups like Bentalls, David Evans, Bonds of Norwich and Jenners in Edinburgh buying a lot of their merchandise under the Associated Independent Stores - AIS buying group. As a result of the local authority’s compulsory purchase of the land at the rear of the Slough store to develop the Queensmere Shopping centre, the family decided to sell the business to Owen Owen of Liverpool. After being major retailers in Slough and Uxbridge for more than fifty years and being in the retail business since 1745 in Lincolnshire to Ledbury in Herefordshire the Suter family’s retail history came to an end. The Suter retail name continued in Marlow and Wallingford for a few more years. Owen Owen sold the Slough store to Alders and it eventually became a branch of Debenhams. The Uxbridge store was not included in the sale to Alders and was split into two units. It is now occupied by Superdrug on the ground floor and Sports Direct on the first and second floors. The Suters Department store name is still very well remembered nearly forty years after the family sold out by people who grew up in Slough and Uxbridge in the 1960s and 1970s.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Suters (March 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Wiae was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

Wikipedia articles about companies require strong referencing in order to be suitable for inclusion. However, this draft does not yet provide any references. Please find and add a variety of reliable, independent (third-party) sources that discuss the subject in significant detail. Thanks,
