Non-notable college performing arts center. No third party sources to establish notability. No particular importance to development of performing arts to make it otherwise notable. Entire article is unreferenced and original research. GrapedApe (talk) 12:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. The current version of the article is not written well according to Wikipedia standards, so I can understand why a reader might think it's not worth keeping.  However, I'm inclined to think that this is a notable concert hall of the sort that we usually keep.  Thousands of GNews hits--most, to be sure, are newspaper listings, but there are also articles with more content such as, and some sources about its role as one of the first U.S. theaters to use geothermal energy e.g. . --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Newspaper mentions of performances there would not satisfy the "significant coverage" prong of WP:GNG. The 1 about geothermal, while possibly more than a mention, is about geothermal energy not about Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center--GrapedApe (talk) 22:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'll admit that the article is atrocious when it comes to citations, but the theatre appears notable in the Eerie, Pennsylvania region. Just a quick look gave three articles that should suffice as "significant coverage":
 * The PAC is back -- and celebrating 15 years of arts and entertainment - Article about the 15th anniversary of the center with references to how important it has been to the community.
 * Mercyhurst reorganizing arts center, looking for new director - Article referring to a current restructuring of how the center is run.
 * PAC Celebrates 15th Anniversary - Another article from the center's 15th anniversary
 * I found hundreds of articles referring to performances there and several about people associated with the center.

 * Keep based on the sources found, although it needs some incubation and TLC. Bearian (talk) 21:46, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
