Theatre sub-stubs
These articles are all sub-stubs that were added in mass quantities by User:Modernmillie. User:Redvers was tagging them for wikification and I was wikifying them. As I went along I prodded a bunch that aren't close to asserting notability. Those prods were removed today. This is an example of the kind of article I'm talking about: Embassy Theatre is a medium-sized venue in Skegness, England. That's it. And most of her stubs were the same content
 * The Queens Theatre in Barnstaple, England is a medium-sized theatre presenting a varied programme of music, comedy, and theatre.

With just the name, location, external link, and seating size (when given) changed. Sometimes the "varied programme" also might have included pantomime or ballet. But other than that, it was the same thing. So I'm nominating these as being sub-stubs and not anywhere close to WP:Stub standards of giving other editors a solid foundation for continuing the articles. I know this is an odd reason to delete, but I think the mass creation of sub-stubs with no notability asserted for the theatre is inappropriate.
 * Queen's Theatre (Barnstaple)
 * Broadway Theatre (Peterborough)
 * Octagon Theatre (Yeovil)
 * Kings Theatre (Southsea)
 * Embassy Theatre
 * Camberley Theatre
 * Central Theatre (Chatham)
 * Grand Theatre Wolverhampton

These two are not by the same creator, but were deprodded by the same user and fit the sub-stub mold:
 * Dundee Theatre
 * Belarusian Opera and Ballet Theatre ("will be continued soon..." was added on 15 June 2006)

 * Delete as per nom. Dionyseus 15:36, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete no assertion of notability. --djrobgordon 19:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete with proviso Another of this User:Modernmillie's articles was up for speedy, Theatre Royal, Bath, but because of the history attached to it I did a little research, filled it out a bit (not that a lot more loving care isn't needed!) and it survived. So, knowing at least one of the above is nn, it should go, but I wouldn't know if nn applies to all the nominations. --Richhoncho 19:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete all per nom. These almost meet WP:CSD A1 (no context).  I agree with Richhoncho's proviso; however none of these seem to be on nearly the same level as Theatre Royal. -- Northenglish (talk) -- 22:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Additionally, Dundee Theatre fails WP:CORP (which is likely most applicable for a movie house). —C.Fred (talk) 05:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't Delete Dundee Theatre. It will have more historical information as soon as I can get my hands on some.--68.13.170.193 17:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
