Stan (play)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability concerns, there have been thousands if not tens of thousands of media portrayals of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, it isn't clear why this play is notable among them. Szzuk (talk) 08:06, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment Since author Neil Brand is notable, a merge to his article seems more sensible than deletion. I found some brief references, including praise for the radio adaptation. Colapeninsula (talk) 15:37, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I've checked the references included again, in my opinion they are trivial apart from one by the BBC which is primary, so I think this is still a delete. However you have a good point and I will merge this info into Neil Brand. Szzuk (talk) 17:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Neil Brand since Szzuk has already merged the information. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 23:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose: I don't see why this play isn't notable enough. It's a play by a well known script writer who has his own Wikipedia article. The play itself has won several awards and has been adapted by the BBC into a radio and TV drama series (which is even easy to track down and watch on YouTube). Both the radio and TV adaptation feature professional actors. Apart from the official site of the BBC I've also added a professional review and source info from an official biography by Danny Lawrence written about Stan Laurel. This makes it far better known and established in media than just a tiny local amateur play. User:Kjell Knudde 6:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC).
