The Backyard Bard

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

fails WP:ORG and WP:N. hardly any third party coverage. , article has remained unreferenced for over 2.5 years. LibStar (talk) 14:46, 16 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Tried to find some sources, but they are mostly behind payscreens. From what I can tell, they appear to be about completely different groups using this same name in the US and Canada. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. No independent sources have been provided. This theater company may be able to establish a claim to notability in the future but that claim has not been established yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:03, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete small theatre, not notable. Darrenhusted (talk) 11:43, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Its a pity about the WP:NOEFFORT.  Sure, articles about this organization might be available in library archives for those who do not wish to pay to see them online, but there does not seem to be quite enough to show notability. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 16:57, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Look closely at those results. They are the same one's I got when I searched. There are multiple groups using this name, most of those results are from North America, not Australia, so they are not relevant whether they are pay-per-view or not. (I realize you did say delete but you seemed kind of reluctant about it, as if it almost could be kept if we were able to utilize those sources) Beeblebrox (talk) 17:06, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Naw... not at all reluctant. Phrased it as I did in case someone wished to point out that not being available online is not a reason to dismiss a source... which is a valid point... but as we both saw, the sources are either about Lewis University's traveling Heritage Theatre Company and their Backyard Bard program, or about the actual Australian group's founder performing in America... like when the Washington, PA Observer-Reporter speaks about Simon Camilleri being up from Australia . And yes... it's a pity about the NOEFFORT.. as having something sit unloved is always kinds sad. Perhaps when the article was first wriiten more was available... but now? Nope.

 * I am the original creator of the page. I'm sorry about the WP:NOEFFORT. Guilty as charged. I've recently added some references in the article that don't reference The Backyard Bard's own website. Hopefully this shows notability. RobertTurnbull (talk) 13:21, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
