Killing My Lobster

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Local sketch comedy group. No references except brief notices and/or dead links from local papers. PROD tag added but removed with the comment "appears to be referenced and have some notability, so removing prod" -- which is partially correct in that it appears to be referenced, though it really isn't.

 * Keep. A reference doesn't have to be online to be valid, although that obviously helps. I added another reference, and I think that the references, online and offline, add up to notability. --Eastmain 13:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 *  A reference doesn't have to be online to be valid... Nor does it have to obsequious, clairvoyant, or purple: however, they should be, you know, non-trivial, which even the dead links appear to be. --Calton | Talk 14:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment – I'm not taking any position in this deletion discussion, but I'd like to point-out that I did quite a number on this article a couple of months ago while clearing-out a copyright violation. A glance at the old version in the history might give a better view of the troupe's notability and their article's potential. ×Meegs 13:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems to have so-so notability. Guroadrunner 07:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I can verify that they're locally notable, anyhow, and we seem to have enough in the way of sources to write a decent article about them, which is my main criterion. For those who judge by global notability, I think a reasonable case can be made that as a notable part of one of America's notable theater scenes, they still qualify.
