0 This article was discussed in 2006 on whether to delete or not and it was decided to keep based on the fact that notable content would be sourced. It has been 14 years and nothing notable has been added and sourced. The page continues to read as an advertisement and does not support any content calling the topic notable. I suggest merging some content of this page into the Queen's University at Kingston as a small summary and deleting the page. User:R.schneider101 15:59, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If we've been waiting 14 years for sources to be cited, and they still haven't been cited, I think that's enough time to wait. If this student comedy troupe really is notable, the article can be re-created later when someone actually finds the reliable sources to do so. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:46, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Only coverage I could find of the improv group was in the Queen's student newspaper. There are some hits for "Queen's players" in other media but those are references to sports. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 18:35, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable, more promotional and something you'd find on their own website than something for Wikipedia. -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:16, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable college group that does not appear to have much, if any, coverage in reliable sources. The arguments presented in the AFD 14 years ago, that there were notable individuals that had been part of the group, does not actually mean much, as notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so the group itself would need sources discussing it that established its own notability.

Delete. 14 years is far, far more than enough time for sources to come forward if they in fact existed. Stifle (talk) 16:24, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (but Delete whatever cannot be sourced). Suggested partial merge into Queen's University at Kingston#Student life. This group is definitely not notable (per WP:MILL, there's nothing unusual about the subject that could warrant a page and there aren't enough sources that aren't from the Queen's student newspaper to overcome that). BUT it has been discussed in some non-Queen's media ([1] [2] [3]) and I think that any verifiable information should be added to the Queen's U page.

Merge as suggested. There's plenty of precedent for doing so with student organizations. Bearian (talk) 19:42, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per other editors, not notable - more than enough time has been given to find some RS here, but there is none. Deathlibrarian (talk) 05:41, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
