 * Keep. The concept is referenced in a book published by English Heritage, a government agency. --Eastmain (talk) 22:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It provides a reliable source and does appear to be notable as a type of play. A Google search gives online sources from Google books, mentions on Time magazine's website, an article in the New York Times on a drawing room play and so on.--The Devil&#39;s Advocate (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: You can find mentions of the concept, or at least prototypes of it, in annotations of Jane Austen's novels. Definitely notable and capable of expansion into encyclopedic coverage. I'd be surprised if there aren't dissertations on the subject, given the sheer volume of stuff written on Victorian domestic culture. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:15, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
