Raw Comedy

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I've decided to hit this article up for deletion on notability concerns, because a Google search didn't turn up many results for this competition. Maybe someone else can have better luck, but as of right now this article is completely unreferenced, so verifiability is a concern as well. Tavix : Chat  01:12, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. The competition and it's importance are easily verified.  How hard did you look? The yearly finalists/winners might be harder to independantly verify, but that isn't an AFD task.  The-Pope (talk) 03:19, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It should probably be renamed 'Raw Comedy Competition' or even 'Raw Comedy Award', in which latter case it could be classed as an Award stub (or become an Award list maybe?). (Sorry, I'm new at this & don't really understand how these things work. If it was renamed - which is the same as moving it, right? - would it be considered to have been kept or not?)


 * I want to eventually see all the major Australian comedy awards referenced somewhere on Wikipedia, as emerging Australian comedy is one of my main areas of interest. (I might go ahead and change the article to an Award stub soon, I'd hate to see all that info lost.) I have found referencing this a bit tricky too, but there are references out there. The topic is very important culturally to many Australians.--Tyranny Sue (talk) 04:53, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
