I made a lot of new changes to my article. I added more sources and made the number more notable, in contrast to the earlier revision that only had one fact about the number. I don't know what I was thinking, but I got the help of [[User:StaringAtTheStars]], and he helped find articles with the number 91,000,000 in them, and I now have 19 references.

== 21:03:46, 4 April 2019 review of draft by Thedavidshow ==
{{Lafc|username=Thedavidshow|ts=21:03:46, 4 April 2019|draft=Draft:Pall_Mall_Barbers}}
I have a couple of questions. First of all I believe... even in the very first draft of this article that I've written, it met all of the notability requirements for a chain of shops. If you look up ANY chain of shops... all but the largest of them are lucky to have anything more than a notice in the local paper of when one or more of the stores opened. Take [[The Gadget Shop]], for example. Two sources. One of them a rather questionable online source. But nobody should expect a five page article in the New York Times from a gadget store. Or this one: [[MicroWarehouse]] ONE source... repeated. And they're out of business. (So I doubt there will be future sources). Or [[Bally Shoe]] ... Again, I'm not knocking their notability, they are shops that either exist or have existed and someone thought enough of them to write articles about them.
I wanted to write about this chain or barbershops. I think I provided a dozen sources from the very beginning. Then I was drinking my tea one morning and noticed that Prince William of England visited the shop and so I added People Magazine, ABC News, and the Daily Mail to the list of sources. I've written a few articles over the years (on my old account from years ago that I no longer remember or have access to) so I'm well familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines and practices.
I guess my question is: When is this article going to be approved? (It's been well beyond two months since it was submitted in January. And it absolutely meets and exceeds the notability requirement.)
