Playing for others

Teen theatre-based charity in North Carolina. Unreferenced,lack of third party coverage (other than one local news story) fails WP:N. Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 17:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; fails notability for WP:LOCAL groups. The only external links are to the group's website and myspace page. Shalom Hello 17:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete while I am sure it is a worthy cause, it fails to show how it is notable enough locally, much less for the entire English-speaking world. If Wikipedia is not designed to list every charity. It also fails my minimal test: would a college student ever want to cite this group? Bearian 19:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP This is a fairly new group so naturally the page is not going to be loaded with every bit of desired information. A poor amount of links is no reason to delete the entire article. The group is plenty notable but once again is a new group, so you can't expect for every ordinary Joe you ask to know what it is. This is a yearly project, so the notability of the group is of course going to increase. Morticon 04:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Dear Morticon, may I suggest taking a look at the links Bearian has provided in his comments? They provide a good description about the basis for deleting articles here. External links are most certainly needed to establish notability. As this very worthwhile charity grows and expands its influence, it very well may warrant an article on here in the future.

 * Eliz81, I have looked over the links provided. There are many news features I have seen for this group, but they are not archived or have been deleted so we cannot provide links to display here. The group is returning this year and we do plan to update this page with more links and information, and host any future features on our own server so to keep the information stored and not deleted. Some of the features are located on the Playing For Others website, but the links to the actual articles are now broken due to deletion of the archived story. We hope, should Wikipedia let us keep the article, that we can provide links to this article on postcards for future advertising and various other promotional material. We plan to hold our first meeting of the year in the near future, where we can discuss plans to direct possible sponsors for our cause to this article to learn about our previous year and our goals.
