Keep substantially covered in reliable independent sources including those already cited in the article. Historic theater. FloridaArmy (talk) 09:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm the creator of the article. I can't help but think that this AfD is a way to make a WP:POINT given that the nominator and I have had some serious clashes over OR in BLPs. I hope that's not the case. Ca2james (talk) 14:01, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Adding: this fire and its rebuild received significant independent national attention (CBC, the Globe and Mail, and Global news). I think that's enough to establish notability, but of course I bow to the consensus of the community. Ca2james (talk) 14:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources provided are sufficient to establish its notability as a historic venue. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:26, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Some expansion and referencing improvement would still be welcome here, but this theatre does have a valid notability claim and valid reliable source coverage to get it over WP:GNG — I live in Toronto and have never been west of Winnipeg in my life, yet the Roxy is the one theatre in Edmonton that I could name right off the top of my head if I were asked.

Keep - notable historic structure. Nixon Now (talk) 20:54, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
