Havana (2010 musical)

Not important. Show never produced JDDJS (talk) 00:27, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Another thing I will like to point out is that there is no talk about the plot or even the sings of the show at all in the article. Also if this artcile does end up getting kept, the name will have to change since it was made before 2010 and never produced in 2010. And just because a singer recorded a couple of the songs does not made it worth keeping. Many albums do not have pages. Also this singer is not very famous. If a huge singer sang them then it might be worth considering keeping it.--JDDJS (talk) 20:41, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. As noted in the nom, this show has never been produced and may never be produced.  In any case, the article is premature, per WP:Crystal.  Substantially all of the references are about how the musical was announced and then cancelled.  If the musical is ever notable, an article can be written then.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:39, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The article passes WP:RS and some of the show's songs were recorded by Linda Eder, a notable singer. There are articles on Wikipedia about unfinished films and books, so why shouldn't there be one about a play that never made it to Broadway? Joal Beal (talk) 16:55, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not that the show didn't make it to Broadway; it was never produced at all - It's been on the shelf for ten years and may never be produced. Wildhorn's wife, Eder, recorded a couple of the songs eleven years years ago on an album featuring Wildhorn's songs from various shows.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - the show never happened, so is not notable. Recreate as and when the show is actually produced. Jack1956 (talk) 06:42, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable non-musical. Dreamspy (talk) 15:58, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Frank Wildhorn, to avoid breaking the links from several articles which link to it. The show may very well end up being produced, since it was not through any fault of the show itself that it ended up being cancelled; because of this I think it is premature to delete the article this soon after the cancellation of the show.

 * That is not a bad idea. The article is premature now, but might be useful later if the show does get produced, and relinking the articles might be a pain. I do have question: how many articles do have links to it?--JDDJS (talk) 20:47, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Interesting question. Going to the page and looking at 'what links here', there's 20+.  Several are user pages, and most of what's left is a result of a template of Frank Wildhorn's musicals - so every musical of his cross references every other one, which makes sense.  So about half the work would be done by simply changing the one template.  David V Houston (talk) 23:37, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
