Hello, PJ1850. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Railway Work".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.

Thankyou for your advice. At this stage, I am not sure how the draft item can be modified to make it suitable for inclusion. If in future I can see a way of resolving this, then I will consider resubmitting an item. PJ1850 (talk) 13:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for contributing to the article Pembroke House. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 22:48, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for your advice and observations. I think the item on Pembroke House now has a reference to when it became a Government Building. The date I discovered when doing research for another project was several years earlier than that previously shown on Wikipedia. Other notes on buildings nearby actually belong on the entry for Ministry of Defence Main Building (MB) so I have added them there.

For the record, I worked in MB for about eight years, periods before and after its refurbishment / redevelopment and so have an interest in the history of the site. Now a volunteer for the National Railway Museum, my research on reporting of railway accidents showed that the accident inspectors were based in various buildings in the Whitehall area, including some now replaced by MB.
