tried to tidy up, find sources, make encyclopaedic, but struggling. very poor article. struggling to find notability. only thing is a play that got turned into a very small-scale film. cannot see what anything in career/achievements that confers notability Rayman60 (talk) 00:59, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Well known in Australia as a playwright. His recent film Last Cab to Darwin was very popular in Australia and did well at the box office; they performed it as a play at the Sydney Opera House about a decade earlier. Country Song (as a play/musical) toured Australia last year. I believe he has another film in preparation for release in 2016. There is a suggestion that the article is an autobiography but I can't see the basis for that claim; the original contributor does not appear to be an SPA. Cribb is well-covered in AusStage (the Australiian university project to document Australian theatre etc). There are loads of citations for him so I added a selection.Kerry (talk) 00:20, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep perhaps as this seems convincingly enough to keep. SwisterTwister talk 06:15, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and hope for improvement. The Guardian reviewed of his play, "The Return" :[1], and this: [2] is a pretty impressive list of hits for a simple google news search on "The Return" + "Reg Cribb". He's a keeper.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:47, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
