The State of Mississippi and the Face of Emmett Till

 * – ( View AfD View log )

non notable student play, I can find no references to satisfy the WP:GNG, e.g. no professional productions or reviews in major news sources. PROD declined. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:36, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - as I pointed out when de-prodding this, the play's name was shorted to "The Face of Emmett Till", and under that name, has been more widely performed, for example, and . White people never understood the impact that photos of his face had, because they didn't read Jet. Bearian (talk) 17:34, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * . Delete: I'm seeing nothing relevant under that title either, except WP:ROUTINE announcements of performances of the play. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 18:30, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep 58 results in Google news archive search. The play is performed in many places, and is discussed for Black History Month.  The Nashville Scene article Bearian found is detailed coverage.  Most of the rest is hidden behind paywalls.   D r e a m Focus  20:32, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Also performed at Grambling State University according to THIS STORY reprinted from The Gramblinite by Black College Wire. It's just a stub, let's see what happens. Carrite (talk) 02:12, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
