[edit] The Semi-Royal Shakespeare Company

The Semi-Royal Shakespeare Company (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The subject gets about 12 Google results and appears to be a high school troupe. Fails WP:ORG. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 00:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable school organisation.--Anthony.bradbury 00:24, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is notable. It is a fully functioning theater company (even if it is affiliated with a school), and should be kept in Wikipedia. It could use more sources though... Diez2 00:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not substantially different than the drama clubs found in just about every school in the country and around the world. The article does make a claim of notability in being the longest-running Shakespeare troupe in the US--unfortunately that isn't true. Montford Park Players are older, as are others, I'm sure.

• Weak delete - I'm not sure if it meets notablity, but I think it would better to delete... Spawn Man 00:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. MER-C 10:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no claim to notability (Starblind points out the untruth of the "oldest" claim, and as for the idea that setting Shakespeare in the modern era is somehow original or unusual, well...) — Haeleth Talk 13:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Hmm, strangely appropriate. Though even as a performing act, it doesn't assert notability. James086 ^{Talk | Contribs} 15:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete- Consider the words of Andrew Lenahan since he is a native wikipedian.In addition to that he is a writer. He may be an expert in the concerned subject.So I'm backing his opinion. Nileena joseph ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 15:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Andrew Lenahan; however, I would hate to see the article deleted based on the draft WP:ORG guideline, which I believe to be quite deficient and ought not be relied upon in its current state. Agent 86 17:18, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
