Citation to an advertisement
[edit]The lead paragraph has a citation to the periodical "The Architect and Engineer". When I went to look at the reference, it turned out to be an advertisement. WP:SPONSORED clearly bars use of ads in most circumstances. In particular, the information drawn from the ad — the identity of the architect and builder — are things that should be easy enough to find in reliable sources. As a result, I am removing the reference and replacing it with {{Citation needed}}. (Note that I am not disputing the truth of the facts presented, just the quality/allowability of the particular reference.) — Ipoellet (talk) 21:10, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
- The architect is listed in many of the existing sources, so I put a ref directly after the first mention of the architect. I couldn't find any other source for the builder online except the one I used. The only think taken from that source was the name of the general contractor and roofing contractor, which seem uncontroversial. I found a few mentions of Almeter working on other buildings in Portland in that timeframe, but nothing else on the Baker Hotel. I think the source is acceptable for this purpose, (we allow using a person's or company website for some basic information). I changed the tag to "better" source needed.
