Midway Drive-In (Illinois)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Last AFD (at Articles for deletion/Midway Drive In) closed as keep. Sources were presented but closer look shows each source to be very, very trivial (one sentence mentions) or incidental local coverage. Seems to fail WP:GNG.

 * Weak keep I have done some preliminary work to reference this article (It certainly did not need all of the Citation needed's added by the nominator based on the external link references). If someone can get access to the Sauk Valley News, Tribune, and Herald, many of these good references could be added. Certainly claiming that the theater has the oldest screen in the state is a claim to notability, and it seems to be backed up by other sources. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 00:42, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Fifty two thirty. Racepacket (talk) 04:56, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per last AfD, quality of sources was already debated. Sources also claim its the first in the state, and a "landmark"--Milowent • talkblp-r  05:42, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
