The meisner technique school of acting[edit]

This article is about a 'school' (drama workshop) that teaches the meisner technique. If it should be kept at all, it should be moved to Meisner technique. Carbonrodney (talk) 06:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the links that are given at the bottom of the article do not establish notability. - Richard Cavell (talk) 10:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused by your notability policy. There seems to be a lot of gray area covered, but not much black and white. What makes this school any different from The Sanford Meisner Center for the Arts. The Meisner Technique School of Acting is a reputable school, with a reputable director who also happens to be a legitimate actor and a disciple of Sanford Meisner. --Jmjrrtt (talk) 17:48, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please check our notability policy here: Wikipedia:NOTABLE. Black and white things usually won't have pages dedicated to them. For example the Holocaust is definitely noteworthy, whereas my empty cup of coffee right here is not noteworthy. Given that most of the stuff in between is grey, we need a policy to sort the blackish grey from the whiteish grey, to keep with your analogy.

I'm sure you are a very reputable teacher. And as far as I know your acting classes are excellent, but the school is not notable enough for Wikipedia. The reason for this policy is Wikipedia is not a place to advertise your business, and that is a commonplace abuse that detracts from many Wikipedians' ability to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. --Carbonrodney (talk) 23:16, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The school itself is not independently notable. The technique and the person are. DGG (talk) 23:23, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
