[edit] Dipson

Dipson (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A small chain of theaters that do not assert notability in any sense. .V. [Talk|Email] 08:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

*Delete per WP:NOT#TRAVEL. And I don't think this can be expanded into a proper article. Spellcast 09:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

After all those reliable, third party sources were provided, I see it's more notable than I initially thought. Spellcast 17:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - They're covered plenty by the media Corpx 15:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep According to their website, they hosted the movie premiere of Buffalo 66. Also an online article refers to them as 'well- known for supporting independent film with its eclectic mix of movie programming', so I'm sure verifiable sources exist to establish notability (currently, the article does not list any).

    • Comment They did hold the premiere; I'm a regular at the theatre they played it. Beautiful place. The employees had a funny story or two about Christina Ricci. Ichormosquito 21:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, per Corpx and Eliz81, notable theater chain. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 20:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Move to "Dipson Theatres". We can't delete a chain with all of these sources. Corpx's search probably pulls up more. Ichormosquito 21:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I should note that there are a lot of hits for Dipson Theaters, but the vast majority of them are directions or movie listings. .V. [Talk|Email] 23:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment They are the subject of more than one. Ichormosquito 02:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Well, more than one trivial mention. There needs to be something of significance for it to be notable. .V. [Talk|Email] 03:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Regardless of what the article says, the chain is not local to Williamsville, New York. Taken together, the three Buffalo locations compose one of the most prominent entertainment venues in the city, as the myriad Buffalo News articles attest to. I'll try to overhaul the article when I get time. Ichormosquito 02:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
