 * New school, little or no evidence of WP:Notability via Google. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:59, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * What does google know?--Ipatrol (talk) 21:27, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * But this isn't an obscure topic like ancient Estonian gods. If a theater school has achieved note, you can bet it'll be mentioned online. Compare Stella Adler Studio of Acting and "Stella Adler Studio of Acting" (though this I am not in any way proposing this as a minimum standard). —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You'd be surprised. In my time on Wikipedia I've tried to cover several plays and even relatively new television series and I literally came up blank when it comes to Google. When plays and films stop showing often the online presence disappears. I wouldn't be surprised if a theatre school is only covered in dead tree sources. - Mgm|(talk) 23:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I see a lawyer looking at me. The essay states that google is not a reliable way to judge notability, it says or implies nothing about that certain topics would have a more reliable google search than others.--Ipatrol (talk) 22:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It's says it isn't a guarantee it also acknowledges that it's useful. The key, as with many similar resources, is to be mindful of the limitations. And no, I'm not a lawyer, and you should read WP:CIVIL before accusing someone else of being one. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Reads like an advertisement. Notability is not confirmed. Ecoleetage (talk) 14:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - More promotional than anything, fails WP:N too. &mdash; neuro(talk) 09:45, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I made an honest effort to find any notable coverage of the children's theatre group. There's just nothing out there. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 05:09, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - too new to be notable. Bearian (talk) 17:32, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
