* Remove all categories <i>other than</i> "Featured Article" and the <i>dated</i> Good Beer Guide categories: "Good Beer Guide 2007", "Good Beer Guide 2008", etc. You <i>do</i> need to remove the plain "Good Beer Guide" category, as this is the category for currently-existing pubs in the current guide, but the others should be retained as historical fact.
* Note that this means if it wasn't a pub and was never a featured article then it should have <i>all</i> the previous categories removed.

Things no longer in existence. Pages retained here in order to not break other people's links, and in some cases for data-mining purposes. (See also Category Temporarily Closed for places that will be reopening at some point.)

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.
  • If you want to leave in old reviews verbatim, you can enclose them in <div class="old_info">...old info here...<div> to make it more obvious that this is old information.
  • It's not necessary to remove addresses, map links, or photos.
