Re: Victorian Plumbing makes a splash with new TV article
Where did you take this information from? In this article the sources are missing but they would be nice to have and are required for publication.

Please add your sources or tell what they are and I would be glad to help.

 * Hi. This article looks a lot like advertising, which we would disallow under our neutrality policy.
 * Is there anything about the story that makes it relevant to our international news audience?
 * We ask for two mutually independent, trust-worthy sources for an article, and one of the (several) functions these sources serve is to show that other news orgs treated the story as newsworthy. We have our own newsworthiness criteria &mdash;see Newsworthiness&mdash; but it certainly helps, as a sanity check, to be able to see how other news orgs treated the story.
 * Welcome to Wikinews. To get a sense of what we do here, I suggest reading first Pillars of writing, then Writing an article. --Pi zero (talk) 10:43, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Question
Hi Gryllida,

Hello Gryllida,

The source of this would be the Victorian Plumbing website https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/bathroom-ideas-and-inspiration and their Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va-WcszDIM4

There is also mentioned on Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Llewelyn-Bowen

 * Our sources have to be independent of each other, and we don't use Wikipedia as a source (you can usually use the sources that the Wikipedia article used, though). For example, I just wrote an article about a Stanford University study.  One of my sources comes from Stanford but the other one doesn't.  Generally, if no media source other than the subject itself is covering the event, then it's probably not newsworthy.
 * There is something else you can do, though: You can do original reporting. Conduct an interview with a person associated with your event and you could get by.  You'd need to be able to convince a reviewer that it's not company promotion or advertising, though. We don't do that here. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:08, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks Rebekah, i don't see the tv article at the official website. Not sure what about youtube, but it would be great to have an extra source from outside victorianplumbing website. You could for example find the local tv channel website for example where they upload the tv programme.
 * When did it occur? April 1st? Anything else that happened after?
