* Remove all categories <i>other than</i> "Featured Article", "Ex-Oriental City", 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, it wasn't an ex-Oriental City place, and it was never a featured article, then it should have <i>all</i> the previous categories removed. |

When a place closes:
- Remove all categories other than "Featured Article" and the dated Good Beer Guide categories: "Good Beer Guide 2007", "Good Beer Guide 2008", etc. You do 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 all the 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.
