Daniel McClung

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unknown NYC playwright. Notability per WP:CREATIVE is questionable, to say the least. Google search yields no credible sources. bender235 (talk) 00:08, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - As per nom. Eduemoni↑talk↓  15:25, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sufficient press (sources provided) indicates the playwright's recent work in the downtown NYC theater scene and legitimate public presence, with workshops at PS 122. Errant deletion would be inappropriate given credible source material. Paganchristmas (talk)
 * Keep. - Sourced in Playbill--that's pretty legit. Tugboat123 (talk) 13:31, 29 March 2011 (EST)

 * Delete The Playbill ref is an article about someone else with a passing single mention of McClung; the other two don't seem to work for me. The article doesn't show much notability, and when one looks at the AliveWire Theatrics page, it states that McClung's play was workshopped - this is not the same as produced.

 * AliveWire "seeks to produce new plays by emerging writers that are connective, charged and current." This would tend to indicate that if you are suitable for them, you are not yet ready for Wikipedia. Peridon (talk) 18:48, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. The coverage is extremely trivial, with no WP:RS discussing him or his work in depth. Fails WP:GNG. -- Kinu t /<sub style="color:red;">c  18:46, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. A press release (mentioining him only in passing) picked up in Playbill and two broken links don't add up to notability. The article does not claim he has ever even had a production. This should be speedied.Jonathanwallace (talk) 19:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
