Checkpoint Theatre

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Theater company which does not appear to meet WP:ORG. I cannot find non-trivial coverage in WP:RS to show that the subject meets WP:GNG. Attempts to assert notability as having been founded by two presumably notable individuals, but there appears to be no specific third party content found to support a standalone article.

Hi, as regards coverage in WP:RS there is coverage in newspapers and Malay Literature. Huzir Sulaiman is a notable playwright, and he has produced all his plays through the company. Does that not mean, his company is notable? If that is not so, then, on a similar logic one can challenge the wiki pages of actors and directors who are involved in a movie. Just because the movie is notable, it cannot be taken for granted that the actor is notable right? And plus the third party coverage will cover only the plays the company produced and not the company itself. It will only state that xyz play is produced by abc company and thats it. How can then one deny the notion that a company that has produced a number of notable plays, a number of notable artists, is essentially non-notable? Mohit Kanwal (talk) 02:22, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - The theatre does get some coverage at Google News. It's mostly passing mentions, but I found one full writeup from ChannelNewsAsia. Maybe the article could be redirected to Huzir Sulaiman rather than deleted. --MelanieN (talk) 14:49, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I would not classify the ChannelNewsAsia source as a "full writeup". Rather, it's a summary of one of their plays that does not provide any information about the theatre itself other than that it put on this production. Goodvac (talk) 06:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak keep: Not convinced its not notable, there are some sources i can see (not amazing ones), but malay sourcing can be a pain. giving it some time will not hurt.--Milowent • talkblp-r  03:05, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Checkpoint Theatre fails both requirements of WP:NONPROFIT. 1) The work this organization does is merely on a regional scale and 2) there is a lack of significant coverage in "multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources". Goodvac (talk) 06:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
