The result was Keep Being nominated for a fringe festival award is not really a claim of notability, however this comedy group has been the subject of multiple reviews by non-trivial resources, three of which are cited by the article. The claim to notability may be weak, but it is just enough to pass WP:N and WP:RS. Resolute 03:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete 'tenuous' is putting it quite mildly. See also related Afd Idiots of ants. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable. Nominated for several awards including 'the most renowned accolade at the Edinburgh Festival' the if.comedy award for a sell-out show at that festival. Television appearances including BBC 3 and commercial television. Radio appearances on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4, and a regular slot on BBC Radio 1. Recently completed a tour of Universities in England, Scotland and Wales, and recently received sponsorship for significant tour of UK theatres for Autumn 08. BBC Radio 4 have commissioned a show for broadcast in March. Channel 4 television have commissioned a show to be produced by Ash Atalla for broadcast in the summer of 2007. The team have contributed materials to a number of popular mainstream television and radios shows. Agree this needs to be documented on the article, but suggest it should be developed rather than deleted. Brendan D (talk) 02:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Of course it should be kept. They're brilliant. I hardly think that an If. comedy award nomination is a tenuous claim to notability, and think it is a little insulting to them to imply so. How is a group meant to achieve "notability" if their webpages are deleted? I concur with the person above: the entry should be developed and updated rather than deleted. I bet the people that are asking for it to be deleted have never seen them. I challenge them to watch a show and still feel the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M ngal (talk • contribs) 21:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC) — M ngal (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep Pappy's fun club are a popular sketch act, and the if.comeddies nomination shows them to be important figures on the comedy circuit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.143.3 (talk) 12:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC) — 86.4.143.3 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Weak delete. If they win the awards nominated for, then recreate. Till then, non-notable. Pastordavid (talk) 17:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
