Anaheim Ballet

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Seems to be cited from local sources, and also fails to meet WP:NN. The article doesn't show anything to indicate that the company is notable. Jab843 (talk) 02:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. A notable dance group, plenty of coverage in reliable sources available at GNews and (not that it's required) not all of that coverage is local to Orange County, either.  e.g.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:27, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

 Keep -- They have an international reputation, I don't even follow ballet and I've heard of them in Canada. There aren't that many professional ballet companies, and they are one prominent one. The students from the ballet school that they run compete in national USA competitions. They perform regionally in California, Nevada, Arizona, and collaborate with international performers like Cirque du Soleil. Former members have gone on to work for international ballet groups that tour worldwide. They've been in existence for over 25 years under two names. I think the issue here is that it's an artsy topic, so its falling through the cracks of WP's notability criteria, which strangely enough, seem to have allowed every 4th rate Science Fiction author in the world to get a biography here. We don't have notability criteria specifically for performing arts/theatre companies, although there is Notability (music) for guidance...OttawaAC (talk) 20:39, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Per the references in the article as of this post (diff). Topic is meeting WP:GNG. Northamerica1000(talk) 09:33, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
