Shanghai stand-up comedy

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I can find no evidence for its existence or its notability--and none is provided in the article, which merely lists a number of comedians and every now and then mentions "Shanghai." Part of its definition, apparently, is "The purpose of them is to make audience laugh." Not a notable topic, in short. Drmies (talk) 00:10, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article is not effectively communicating whatever the author meant to communicate. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep merge with Stand-up comedy - The article refers to "Shanghai Qingkou (海派清口) which shows 7,660,000 results in google. By searching possible English keywords, it shows another 91,800 results. See also media coverage from CNN and San Francisco Chronicle. However, I think the article needs a cleanup to make it match the quality of wikipedia. --Winstonlighter (talk) 19:25, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Second Thoughts: Stand-up comedy has covered the various regional styles. The article on the Shanghai variation doesn't seem comprehensive to make it a single entry. --Winstonlighter (talk) 19:25, 14 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge with Stand up comedy per Winstonlighter. -- Eraserhead1 &lt;talk&gt; 19:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
