Lobster Man (play)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable play lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. red dog six (talk) 17:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think this play deserves entry into Wikipedia due to the fact that this one-act play has been very successful in the one-act festival circuit in the USA. It is not common that a single one-act play will be accepted to five play festivals in five different cities and be a finalist in another competition, all within a seven month time frame.  This play is also currently being pitched around to publishers with an impressive production history attached.  Please reconsider having this article included into Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuixoteArmy (talk • contribs)  — QuixoteArmy (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - Unfortunately popularity does not equal notability. Notability is demonstrated, "if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."  The references included in the article are not significant, nor is "successful in the one-act festival circuit" or "finalist in another competition" included in the criteria to establish notability.

 * Delete - Lacks signficant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Found this passing mention in a small newspaper --- Whpq (talk) 23:41, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
