Andrea burns

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable actress. Roles are almost all minor ones (either understudy roles or as an extra; none appear to be lead roles from what I can tell). Withdrawn. Some things don't come up on a cursory search (such as the album), and some things aren't clearly shown in a basic database. I would, however, recommend redirecting to "Andrea Burns" (capitalization fixed) if it isn't already. Tyrenon (talk) 06:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * KEEP - Post 1999 roles are mostly leads or replacements as leads (not to be confused as understudy). Article's subject has 2 award nomination as lead actor and as originated the role of Daniela in the Tony award winning musical "In the heights", therefore her performance will be used as a template for what an actor's interpretation of that role should be. For these reasons, I believe she is a notable actor and her bio should remain on record for future reference. - Added "Stage Credits" and "Awards" section to article for more clarity - Broadwayjo (talk) 18:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I also agree that this article should be kept. Although the article does need some edits, Andrea Burns is definitely a leading actress who deserves a page.  Her role in In the Heights is in no way just a chorus role, as Daniela is the owner of the "neighborhood salon" and has a large supporting role.  In addition, she was one of only four members of the Jason Robert Brown musical Songs for a New World, definitely a significant accomplishment.  She was also lead in the Stephen Sondheim musical Saturday Night in its off-Broadway production, of which a cast recording was made.  Although it is not mentioned, she is also featured in the John Bucchino album It's Only Life and This Ordinary Thursday - The Songs of Georgia Stitt  However, if it is at all possible, I would fix the title so the her last name is capitalized.  -Broadwaylover 04:37, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

To add on, she was featured in 8 other pages, including one of the notable alumni of French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts. She also produced her own album in 2007, called Andrea Burns: A Deeper Shade of Red. Broadwaylover 05:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep She has been interviewed by the Dallas Morning News - Reproduced on a fan site, and reviewed/featured on: Chicago Tribune review of Parade, she's the lead, NYTimes Theater review, Hartford Courant, Fox News, FW Star Telegram, there are a lot more, most of them behind paid walls or on Broadway World (I don't know if it's RS, so not listing). -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 05:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Will Redirect as per Tyrenon suggestion. Waiting for AfD status change so not to overwrite the current AfD notice. Added album cursory search, will clarify database Broadwayjo (talk) 03:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * When you say redirect, I hope you mean Move, so that history is maintained. Also, please look at removing some of the unnecessary blue links. It doesn't make the page look particularly good. I'm not a bio-writer, so I don't want to do it and mess things up on that. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 19:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
