Not only has this article still not obtained a single reference since its creation more than five years ago, the article is also written as an advertisement and was created by a member of the organization's board of directors. Article is not neutral, is promotional, and its subject is not notable (see WP:ORG). How it got past speedy deletion nomination when it was first created mystifies me a bit.

 * It looks like the theater is commonly called simply "Lakeshore Players". There are 143 mentions of that in the Star Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press in the past 25 years. Many are just mentions in passing but I noticed a few look like significant coverage. I'll try to look at the newspaper articles more later. Eóin (talk) 03:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete When this was first listed I added some references, but these are effectively local passing coverage. I also sought wider indications of potential notability (for example participation in wider festivals/awards or their Ten-Minute Play festival getting wider note) but found nothing sufficient. So regretfully, without some such indicators there isn't enough to meet the notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 09:04, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
