Go Fly A Kite (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

NN industrial musical. Only performances were for a GE executives conference in 1966. —  MusicMaker 07:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. -- Ssilvers 14:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Co-written by John Kander and Fred Ebb, better known as Kander and Ebb; the creators of Cabaret and Chicago. That is enough to make this a notable production, even if it only had three performances. Masaruemoto 02:04, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment A Google search of ""Go Fly A Kite" General Electric Kander" retrieved 33 results. Just the fact that John Kander was hired by General Electric to pen a couple songs for an executive retreat does not mean it's notable. —  MusicMaker 03:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Comment: At the same time, having 33 WP:GOOGLEHITS does not necessarily mean the subject is not notable. - Zeibura (Talk) 21:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Merge to Kander and Ebb. Couldn't find any coverage, so I'm not convinced this is notable for its own article, however, keeping info in the writers' article and keeping a redirect can't hurt. There are no notability guidelines specifically for musicals, but from WP:MUSIC, an adaptation of "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that page.)" could probably be applied here. - Zeibura (Talk) 21:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Merge to Kander and Ebb and redirect. But I wonder - should there be a disambiguation page for the expression Go fly a kite and then "this" article be renamed as Go Fly a Kite (musical)? Anyway there is no independant notability for this one-time performance, per MUSIC. --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 00:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
