[edit] Little Theatre

I tried Googling this to find out where this 'Little Theatre' might be. It was a hopeless task - there are more Little Theatres than you can shake a stick at, to say nothing of things like "...take in a little theatre on a Friday night...". None of the other clues here helped much in reducing the number of hits. This article is unexpandable unless we know where this theatre is located, and useless for the same reason.

• Change to Keep In light of the recent edit and expansion by EvilKnight. Hamster Sandwich 18:02, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Nothing to redeem this article yet. Willing to change my vote if a reference gets cited or if the sub-stub is fleshed out in some way. Fernando Rizo T/C 09:33, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Keep in light of EvilNight's fine expansion. Fernando Rizo T/C 23:01, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

• Well, it is expandable, but only if someone from Rochester with a bit of knowledge of this place happens to stumble over your article. "The Little" by name in Rochester will be instantly recognized by anyone in the area (and by not a few people in Hollywood in the art cinema circuit). Considering the original wikipedian's entry for the stub with the clues "now an art house multiplex" (The Little has 9 screens now if memory serves), "oldest active movie theaters" (The Little was founded in 1928, cinema houses don't get much older than that, or last this long), and "built specifically to show films" (which The Little was) it seems clear he meant The Little in Rochester. I know of no other cinemas that match all of those credentials. I've gone ahead and updated the entry to a more appropriate stub with a bit of information, some basic history, and some links (and all of this material is my own writing, no worries about copyright). Give it a go-over and decide if you still want to vote it for deletion. Also, this is my first Wikipedia entry, so check and let me know if I'm breaking any etiquette. I would also be willing to bet that if asked, the management at The Little would consent to a direct import of their history from their website into this article. Do check out the history link, it's quite interesting. EvilNight 17:18, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Touched up the language a bit. Also, the Little Theatre was mentioned twice by name in the article for Rochester, NY, so I changed the names to internal links pointing to this article. EvilNight 21:08, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

• Thank you, EvilNight. I happily retract my nomination. BTW, great first article! Denni☯ 03:29, 2005 August 5 (UTC)
