[edit] Andy & Edie

n Off-Broadway play that ran for less than two weeks nearly two years ago. No awards, nobody famous involved. Was Prod'ed, but the tag removed with the summary object to deletion; professional production with notable cast members: since the "notable cast members" are Misha Sedgwick and Thomas Blake (not the tennis player), this means either someone is unclear on the meaning of the word "notable" -- and probably "professional", too -- or someone is violating WP:POINT.

  • Obvious Keep. Well, today's peak display of aggressive ignorance has apparently arrived early. "Off-Broadway" typically indicates notability itself; you're generally talking major-market, highly visible, professional productions. Misha Sedgwick, aside from clearly meeting notability requirements on her IMDB entry alone, is also notable (and widely reported in the NY press) as a scam artiste who managed to pass herself off as Edie Sedgwick's niece, even fooling the New York Times, as I recall. The play itself was widely publicized before its opening, even touted in Vanity Fair at one point as a major event. The director stages professional work regularly in NYC. And so on. Not to mention the playwright's independent notoriety. That the play was neither a commercial nor artistic success hardly contradicts notability; any number of cinematic debacles have (quite properly) their own entries. Given that the nominator spends much more time displaying pique that his judgment should be questioned than in explaining his reasons for supporting deletion, this probably should be a Speedy Keep as not nominated in good faith.

  • Keep Off-broadway is notable. Although I think I shall be revising Misha's article once I can pull some verifiable newspaper stories out of the archives :) Thatcher131 16:18, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as referenced and notable. Nothing's obvious. That's why we have AfD. -- Krash (Talk) 19:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep for the reasons cited above. I've seen less notable stay and don't see a reason to remove it. Plus, it would be a shame to undo the work put into expanding the stub. Santress 09:17, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
