Australia's largest party store opening soon
Hi. On careful consideration, this qualified as advertising, which is against Wikinews project policy. If you'd like to contribute news content to our project, there's lots of useful information about how to do that on the Howdy template at the top of this page; but please do not place any kind of advertising here. --Pi zero (talk) 12:37, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * It isn't newsworthy: A Wikinews article should be about a current event or phenomenon, and the event should be specific &mdash; this is an announcement of something that won't even happen for weeks to come, and it was announced quite a long time ago, so nothing about the story has changed in recent times.
 * It looks like it's effectively single-source: We look for two or more mutually independent sources of information, and it looks as if all the information really comes via press release by the store.
 * It's really not presented in a neutral fashion, as a news event; the tone/focus is of advertisement, and, in all honesty, that does appear to be its intent.
 * Oh, btw, also possibly relevant is WN:Conflict of interest. --Pi zero (talk) 12:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
