[edit] Soho Rep

• delete - looks to be of no importance 4.18GB 16:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
• keep I'm not sure what reason for deletion is asserted here, but the Drama Desk Award seems to confer notability. I'm a little concerned about the lack of sources, though their own website would be enough.--Kchase T 17:51, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment -- I am entirely confused by this article. For a start shouldn't the opening sentence be the other way round? "Soho Repetory Theatre...aka Soho Rep"? And the article titled to reflect this. Other than that, it sounds notable, but I haven't got the time nor the inclination to check it externally. The onus is on the author to provide external, independent sources to save us having to look all the time. I would delete it on that basis because otherwise it looks like an overblown advert. However, having awoken with a sense of good faith this morning, I am willing to wait to pass judgement. Bubba hotep 12:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep While this is an article that needs a lot of references and editing for sense, Soho Rep is a notable theater in New York City. The OBIE awards are notable. Soho Rep is regularly the source of articles in the New York Times and other reputable newspapers--I found a 10 October 2006 NYT piece discussing their new production and new artistic director. I have no present connection to the theater (I worked on one production in 1999) Overcamp 21:51, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, the assertions of notability are poorly presented, but seem adequate. And the article needs work, but seems salvageable. While I'm here, though, I have to ask, is that really the official name? It sounds more like a common nickname, in which case, the article should be moved to the offical name, with the redirect left in place. Xtifr _tälk 23:32, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: n/m, the official name was listed in the article, so I went ahead and did the move. Xtifr _tälk 23:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

They spell it "Soho Repertory Theatre" on the website. I don't know how to change the article name, but I edited the article body to reflect that spelling. Overcamp 02:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Gah, ok, I'll come back and clean that up later, thanks. Xtifr _tälk 04:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, the main article is now at Soho Repertory Theatre, with a redirect at Soho Repertory Theater (probable common misspelling) and (fixed) redirect at Soho Rep (common nickname). If it gets deleted, they can all go as a group, and if it doesn't, we should be set. cheers. Xtifr _tälk 08:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
