Massive Improv

 * – ( View AfD View log )

From the contested prod - ''Non-notable organisation - one non-notable alumnus, one non-notable "recommendation", no reliable independent sources found. Very close to advert/original research.'' Google search shows little significant coverage - lots of social media, primary sources, and simple directory/calendar listings. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:01, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as the PRODer, I still see nothing to indicate that this meets the notability criteria  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 21:51, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Could you possibly explain which notability criteria it meets, and some reliable sources which are independent of the subject which would enable us to verify that? --  Phantom Steve .alt/ talk \[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 20:14, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes here are some more independant sources illustrating the presence of Massive Improv in Houston as well as a company profile.  Please forgive me if the format is off but these additional references can be added to the page if necessary.
 * Massive came in 2nd in 2009 for funniest show in Houston: http://houston.cityvoter.com/best/live-comedy/arts-and-entertainment/houston/2009
 * Massive at the Houston Fringe Festival: http://www.artshound.com/event/detail/26821/2nd_Annual_Frenetic_Fringe_Festival
 * Massive Improv Inc. company profile: http://www.manta.com/c/mtcgzgp/massive-improv-inc — Preceding unsigned comment added by Happyhubie (talk • contribs) 22:54, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for those, but I don't think they constitute the 'significant coverage' required. The first confirms their presence in the festival. The second is a 2-sentence description of them, and to me it sounds as I'd they wrote it themselves, the 3rd confirms their existence (which no one is doubting) but does not give much detail, and is also submitted by the group themselves. I also note from your user name that you would appear to be a performer with the company? Please read this, which gives useful guidelines for you. Please be aware that Wikipedia is not a venue for promotion or for making organisation's appear 'legit' --  Phantom Steve .alt/ talk \[alternative account of Phantomsteve] 05:47, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
