Delete-Retrieves 20 g-hits, none notable http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=%22anu+law+revue%22&start=20&sa=N, having been to a show I severely doubt it possesses notability. It consists of 3-4 nights a year showing the equivalent of the local, amatuer misfits in drag, who get high off the fact that they are performing, and people are watching them. A place for (bad) amatuer comedians to go and die quietly, which has minimal audience (sold out doesn't mean alot in the context of a 3 night show in a tiny theatre), and doesn't even approach the bootlaces of notability for a play. It should go the same way as the Qld one here Articles for deletion/University of Queensland Law Revue, and if anybody knows more about the other revues sub-linked to the page below, they should consider whether the articles also deserve an AfD JJJ999 (talk) 23:26, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Australian National University -- Whpq (talk) 16:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * There's nothing to merge, and it's inappropriate anyway because it isn't significant enough to merit a merge to what is in reality an unrelated page. The University doesn't run the Law Revue, a collection of students do.  There is no value to a merge that forces absurdly tangential content to a real page.JJJ999 (talk) 21:16, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep This is a notable event for the largest university in that country. Dream Focus (talk) 20:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't think ANU is the largest university in Australia and I don't think it has nmanaged to be shown that this is a notable event for ANU - if you wish to maintain that assertion, please provide some sources to back it up. --Matilda talk 21:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed, not only is it not the largest university (though it is one of the 8 largest/sandstone universities), but that fact has no bearing on notability of an event that a rag tag bunch of misfits who happen to go to ANU participate in.JJJ999 (talk) 21:13, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Using the logic of dream focus, it would mean that an event at the largest country/corporation etc is notable. Michellecrisp (talk) 04:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete not notable outside the university, or for that matter students/staff of the university who are not involved in the revue. these kind of events almost never get reported in mainstream media. Michellecrisp (talk) 01:08, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable. Orderinchaos 22:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
