Please see last AfD - no consensus due to low participation, though no one arguing it is notable. Hoping we can get this resolved one way or the other this time - it has been in CAT:NN's backlog for 12 years. Boleyn (talk) 14:32, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Those advocating keep seem to either assume or expect that sources exist, yet where are they? The keeps don't seem too convincing.
 * Weak keep. The theatre closed in 2012, and I can't find any reviews of its 100+ professional productions on google, or much published info to verify the descriptions of the theatre's operations.  There is no German language article about it to draw from. However, footnote 1 is an archived version of the theatre's old History page, which gives some useful information. Footnote 2 leads to archived versions of the theatre's old website, which is long gone, but if you click back to 2012 or earlier, you can find most of the old official website of the theatre, which includes several useful pages beyond the History page. Footnote 3 is a very good article from Radio Wien, which gives quite a bit of good content. A professional theatre company that produced more than 100 productions over 38 years is, on its face, notable. The only difficult part is finding more references that describe it and can verify the (not badly written) material in the article.  If someone can access some books about theatre in Vienna, it seems very likely that we will eventually be able to verify the information. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:27, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, per above this is a theatre in a major city and there is clearly a lot to write about here. I've added a reference since nomination and I agree with the above commenter that it is likely that there are enough sources out there to establish notability.

 * Keep Passes GNG with significant online coverage available. Zackdasnicker (talk) 09:42, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per comments above. Kuatrero (talk) 20:12, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment I pondered whether this could be a non-controversial keep closure, given the lack of deletion expressions either on this AfD or the previous, however even the keeps here to me are mostly weak and not really convincing. Boleyn seemed to suggest that there has been a question mark over notability for some time but consensus on that doesn't seem to be clear. Bungle (talk • contribs) 15:38, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, It can be presumed to be notable as it was a major theater company with over 100 productions, and has a few online sources available, but finding more offline sources may be difficult.Jackattack1597 (talk) 11:21, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
