When a place closes:

  • Remove all categories other than "Good Beer Guide 2007", "Good Beer Guide 2008", etc (don't forget to remove the plain "Good Beer Guide" category, as this is the category for currently-existing pubs in the current guide; the others should be retained as historical fact). Note that this means non-pubs should have all their previous categories removed.
  • Add the "Now Closed" category.
  • Remove all the locales.
  • Remove the postcode and OS coords from the Additional information to stop the place showing up on location searches.
  • Edit the content and summary to make it clear that the place has closed, preferably explaining why you know it's closed (linking to a news story, for example). You can leave in any information that might still be of interest.
  • It's not necessary to remove addresses, map links, or photos.
