Keep. The tone was a bit promotional, but that was easily fixed through editing. Both the building (a 1909 firehouse) and the theater it currently houses are notable per WP:GNG, as demonstrated by the references in the article. Pburka (talk) 00:44, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Thanks, Pburka, for cleaning it up and taking out anything that could be construed as opinion, etc. The article is certainly not advertising, since I have no connection or vested interest with the building or its owners. Just a space I'm familiar with that I thought deserved to be documented for general knowledge. User:Sbjoiner1
It was really just one word. Describing the founder as 'legendary' in the first sentence didn't seem appropriately encyclopedic. Everything else was pretty neutral. Pburka (talk) 02:27, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even if the theatre isn't notable, the building appears to be. I'm mystified as to what the nominator's definition of advertising might be! -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:16, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request speedy close as keep as nomination withdrawn. Nomination was rather harsh. The Banner talk 14:38, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
