[edit] Women Fully Clothed

Originally {{prod}}ded as nn; prod tag was removed by possible SPA 71.203.231.148 with the edit summary "its not like they dont exist". Forgive me if I find that argument less than compelling, so on to a full-blown AfD we go. Subject is nn; article is a WP:OR violation written in a wildly unencyclopedic manner; roughly half the sentences contain WP:WEASEL violations; and not one word of it is properly cited besides the fact that the group exists at all. Also, while Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) is only a proposal at this point, I will note that this comedy troupe fails nine of the ten criteria currently listed, and for that tenth one it does pass, Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) suggests that the article name instead be used as a redirect to the name of the troupe's most prominent cast member and listed as a side project on his/her page. Needless to say, I think this adds up to a big old Delete. Aaron 00:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC) Changing my vote to weak keep based on Roninbk's excellent cleanup. I still don't think they meet the proposed comedy guidelines, but they're close enough. --Aaron 15:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, but re-write - The article is mostly a re-hash of their about page, bordering on copyvio, but the comedy group is not only real, but seems to be fairly notable as touring comedy groups go. A few useful links that I found: review in NOW Magazine, Awards show entry on IMDB that mentions their nomination, I even found one place where a member was introduced in an acting context as "from Women Fully Clothed" [1].—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Harmil (talk • contribs).
  • I'm gonna go ahead and add those links in, and give it a rough sanding of the prickly points. --Roninbk _{t c #} 02:35, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
    • OK, I've cleaned up the article significantly. It now passes Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) on three counts, (multiple non-trivial published works, members otherwise notable, and featured in major comedy festival) I've stripped the POV, killed the weasels, and added stub categories. I hope that this article can now be saved from deletion. KEEP --Roninbk _{t c #} 05:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as rewritten. Note how I avoided making a pun on "stripped". D'oh. JIP | Talk 09:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Good cleanup, team. Andrewa 10:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, rewrite is good, sources are cited and text is definitely encyclopedic and verifiable. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 13:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep the rewrite is good.-- danntm ^T _C 13:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've never heard of them, but the participants are certainly notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep now that the nomination has been withdrawn. --Hyperbole 16:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per all above.UberCryxic 20:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
