Non-notable play. reddogsix (talk) 01:17, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Coverage at by the San Francisco Chronicle and broadwayworld.com within a week of its opening suggests notability; given the notable roles of the play, further coverage can be expected. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 05:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage is trivial at best.. There is nothing here to support notability. reddogsix (talk) 05:25, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage in the SFC states that the play was a trigger for a Bauer retrospective exhibition at a major art gallery. The broadwayworld.com article is solely about the play, which has been commissioned by the San Francisco Playhouse. The play's title character is played by a notable actor, Ronald Guttman. There's also coverage by The San Francisco Examiner ("Lauren Gunderson’s new play ‘Bauer’ tackles art and history"), the San Jose Mercury News ("Playwright Lauren Gunderson's 'magic wand' about to strike again"). These publications satisfy #1 at Wikipedia:Notability (books). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:42, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

PS: The play was written by a notable playwright, Lauren Gunderson. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:25, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The play is clearly notable and is about multiple notable characters and issues, It is about a long debated moment in art historyMasterknighted (talk) 13:23, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
