Local improv theater group that seems to have only local notability. NawlinWiki (talk) 23:35, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The group does only have regional newspaper coverage. However, I figured it having recently been voted the number 1 live comedy show in Denver and having other reviews/articles written about it would be enough to confer notability. For an improv group, this is actually a rather large amount of print coverage (the sources aren't fleeting mentions, but instead actual article-length reviews). The only improv groups that have coverage outside of their own area are groups like The Second City or troupes that travel. If we say that a troupe that has been voted best in its own area is not notable enough for Wikipedia, this would place the bar prohibitively high, causing few groups to qualify for inclusion. Many troupes that are notable within the comedy community would be left out. Full Disclosure: I'm the author of this article. So, Keep SMSpivey (talk) 06:01, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - sufficient sources to write a good, neutral article. Some more exist beyond those cited, which is helpful. WilyD 14:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
