Rain On The Just

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable play, can't find sources to verify its existence, there is also a novel by same name which is unrelated to the play, also non notable. Eduemoni↑talk↓  01:31, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I did find just enough to show that when the play was held, it received some coverage. It looks to have received more, but I'm unable to find it at this point in time. I think the biggest issue here is that most of these sources aren't on the internet in general at this point in time and finding more coverage would require someone to do some IRL hoofwork. I'd suggest a merge and redirect to the author's page, but I don't see where that page exists. If anyone wants to create and source it, I'd support a redirect there.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:40, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep There are multiple sources that show it was performed (several times) and reviewed in the UK. See Google Books. It was also performed in Australia and briefly reviewed in The Age and in the Christian Science Monitor (behind a pay wall) . The article currently has information on the cast, the early performance history, a brief synopsis, and critical reception sections. There is absolutely no reason to delete this, simply because the sources from the late 1940s aren't available online in their entirety. Also it cannot be merged to the article on its author, as there is none, and even if there were, there is too much detail already in this article to make it inappropriate to merge.

 * The play was also broadcast on radio in Australia in 1951, as well as having another run in Brisbane in 1953. If you look around enough, you kind find quite a few performances in British provincial theatres in the late 1940s and the 1950s—Bath, Sheffield, Nottingham, Northampton, etc. Note also that the December 1948 Theatre World had a big spread on it with nine photographs .

 * Keep per Voceditenore. Enough now to support an article and more likely to exist. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
