I see little evidence of notability, only some appearances in the local paper for Hull, and this fails to show the sort of national level of interest that would be required. _nonsense ferret 15:42, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

keep in addition to the two newspaper appearances there was on at [1] and [2] though the latter's independence is not clear. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:08, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There have been two articles from the local Hull newspaper and something from the local town council website which falls very far short of notability per the guidelines. Are you unfamiliar with the provisions of WP:ORG and specifically the requirement to demonstrate interest at a national level per WP:AUD? --_nonsense ferret 13:54, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In practice, a single non-local (doesn't need to be national) source is sufficient for notability when combined with in depth local sources. The problem here is more that the local sources are fairly trivial "a performance was held" type stuff and don't really talk much about the organization itself. Weak delete. --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:01, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- this appears to be a NN theatrical company. It is not even clear that they are professional actors. Citations in local newspapers are probably RS, but do noit inducate notability: typcially they print any news they can get. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:34, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree with Peterkingiron, sources do not demonstrate notability, appears to be a small, non-notable group. Fyddlestix (talk) 17:10, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
