This isn't an encyclopedia article, it's an advertising brochure. This group may have some significance in the Coventry/Leamington Spa area, but it has no real significance nationally, no more, that is, than any other local theatre group. The "references" cited by the previous poster all come from the same small local area. From Leamington Spa to Coventry takes about 15 minutes on a motorbike, and Stratford is about 10 minutes in the other direction, i.e., this is a REALLY SMALL area that the group is known in and caters to. A couple of trips to Krakow and Edinburgh don't add up to either national or international significance. The group already has its own website, and does not need a Wikipedia article. Think it through: if every local theatre group in the world were allowed a Wikipedia page, the encyclopedia would be drowned in a deluge of trivia. This article should be deleted.Theonemacduff (talk) 05:59, 21 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hang on, if you delete this you'll have to delete loads of other articles. I've seen many articles on schools which under your criteria should go. Lots of football clubs would have to go. Lots of sports players. I see nothing in the Wikipedia rules that state that something has to be famous nationally. There is nothing to say that references have to come from wide geographical sources. Quite what your motorbike thing has to do with it I haev no idea. Also, what does something having it's own website got to do with anything? Cls14 (talk) 07:32, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
