BLACKOUT (improv group)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable group. GHits consist mainly of Facebook and similar hits. I was unable to find any reviews, did find a couple of announcements, fails WP:ENT GregJackP (talk) 14:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

i put a link to a review on the site and it passes WP:ENT with #2. JOhnjon24 (talk)

 * Delete - Was not able to find any major reliable sources on this group and none of the sources listed in the article seem to establish notability (mostly being videos of their work or schedules). Agree with nom that it fails WP:ENT. mauler90 (talk) 21:08, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

hey guys. thanks for all of your help so far. i've been trying to make this page look right and it seems like everything we do is wrong. The reader is a real paper in Chicago that gave them a real review. vocalo is a real radio station in the chicago/ indiana area with over 4000 listeners and they really won that competition. iO is the theater they do their show at. they didn't make that site. they really have a show there. and the sources that list them in different comedy festivals are real. i'm not sure how to make that clearer unless you actually called these places to verify. i'm in the process now of looking for the first time they were interviewed on the radio before they were hired. they provide a lot of info that would be a good source but is audio an acceptable reference? i seen pages on this site get away without having any of this stuff so any advise is greatly appreciated. thanks again and i hope the tone of this message dosen't sound harsh. if there's anything we can do to keep this page from going down, we'll do it. just let us know. thanks.JOhnjon24  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Does not pass WP:ENT #2 - 4000 listeners out of a metro area of almost 10 million people is not a "large fan base or significant cult following". Additionally, all of the sources on the article are upcoming performance announcements or schedules. No significant coverage in any independent source has been provided to meet WP:GNG. --Darkwind (talk) 09:06, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

if that's the case then a lot more pages should also be deleted. thanks for all your help. also, what's the protocol for radio interviews? most of the info about them are audio files archived on chicago public radio's website and everyone kept saying that the were blogs which is not the case and information on the audio is more than show schedules. they just interviewed a cast member from breaking bad and discussed the comedy scene in LA and Chicago. i hope someone tries to resurrect this page.

by the way. according to wiki's own article about Cult_following's. They do fit into that category. i wonder if there are transcripts of vocalo's archived audio.
