Thalidomide!! A Musical

NN musical. — Music Maker 21:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete!! Totally not notable. Yechiel Man 23:14, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this. It has moderately known stars, and has toured in many important theatres. It made BBC [1] [2]. I can't see how this is less important than many C-list movies we keep.--Sandy Donald 23:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Respond. First, having played 5 relatively small cities in England and Scotland does not qualify for notability. Second, the fact that the BBC covered it does not make it notable. The BBC does pieces on people's cats; are we to include them in WP? — Music Maker 03:21, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please note that, per your own criteria in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Snow! The Musical, Battersea is in London. --Dhartung | Talk 04:00, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Respond I have to plead relative ignorance at the geography of London, which is what made going through the British musicals that much more difficult. I really don't want to offend the Brits; that's not my intent. The rationale I've stated elsewhere notwithstanding, I'm not going to withdraw this nom. Should this be judged a keep, it would simply go to support the rationale I've stated, and, therefore, would help with the eventual guidelines I hope to get out of this mess.... — Music Maker 04:17, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep sufficiently notable. JJL 02:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, well covered by the British media (also). One could view it as more stunt than entertainment but regardless it attracted attention and passes WP:N for artistic endeavors. --Dhartung | Talk 03:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not exactly a musical; play with international productions, & sufficient press coverage. Johnbod 19:20, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
