[edit] Midnight Cabaret

Midnight Cabaret (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable theatrical group, run by students at a college. The whole article reads like an advert. Users User:Doctorniatpac and User:Divinebovine have both reverted edits made by myself and User:WilliamH. WilliamH originally added the prod tag to the page, before it was removed. I've discussed this article on William's talkpage in terms of the way forward. I originally created the article as a redirect to the film The Midnight Cabaret. I ask that if the result of this AfD is delete, that the closing admin restores the redirect. Lugnuts (talk) 17:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy close. This is a legitimate redirect to The Midnight Cabaret, and not a matter for deletion. If User:Divinebovine restores the theatre group info again, he will most likely be blocked for a WP:3RR violation. WilliamH (talk) 17:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Question Why has this been closed? I don't see any resolution. I do, however, see that the article is, right now, one about the theatre group again. The argument that this problem is covered by 3RR is wrong since clearly it's possible to edit-war without breaching 3RR. Can I propose that we simply re-open this discussion?

    • ...And just to clarify, we don't need to worry that a delete consensus here would prevent the article being a redirect (even a protected redirect) to another legitimate topic. That isn't a problem. AndyJones (talk) 20:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

    • Answer it was closed then re-opened at my request. See here. AndyJones (talk) 17:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Non notable theater group. Single reference is to a blog from the same school that the theater group is from. AlbinoFerret (talk) 15:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Trim and Merge/Redirect into Sarah Lawrence College.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete If this must come to deletion then I have no problem with it running its course. I think the redirect to The Midnight Cabaret is much more warranted than that which pertains to a non notable theatre group though. WilliamH (talk) 16:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Socs generally aren't notable. Much better sources would be needed to keep this. AndyJones (talk) 18:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete content and restore redirect - non notable theatre group. Lugnuts (talk) 07:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment. Note that Lugnuts is also the nom. AndyJones (talk) 07:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
      • Good point, well made! That dastardly Lugnuts trying to vote more than once! Just ensuring that the redirect is kept, or if this org is notable, that it becomes a disambig page and the content is moved to Midnight Cabaret (theatre group), or something along those lines.

  • Redirect to the article on Sarah Lawrence, as per the previous editor's comments. But the article needs a good trimming. Ecoleetage (talk) 12:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect to The Midnight Cabaret as suggested. (jarbarf) (talk) 23:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
