[edit] It's a start

Not my best work but I haven't seen it since 1996. Hopefully having the page here will trigger some more recent viewers. The best thing about Astoria is this play WNW3 (talk) 19:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

This should be easy to establish. Between sourcing and getting a number for the times its been performed multiplied by the audience numbers 198.6.33.13 (talk) 19:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Audience number/performance numbers do not really mean much. Hopefully they would translate into coverage by the media, and thus coverage by Wikipedia defined reliable sources. It is that coverage (must be significant and not trivial) by independent, reliable sources as covered by WP:CORP/WP:N that will allow this to pass the notability requirement.

I was just reading WP:CORP actually. Hopfully the page will get some help. 198.6.33.13 (talk) 21:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'm doing some research and seeing what a similar sized venue in the same local uses for notability Columbia River Maritime Museum, but maybe that's not notable either. Researching. 198.6.33.13 (talk) 22:01, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, for comparison check out the Oregon Shakespeare Festival on a much less grand scale 198.6.33.13 (talk) 22:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Bunch of guides and other books it's referred to in [1] 198.6.33.13 six travel guides I could find (talk) 22:23, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Please also read this. Katr67 (talk) 22:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the information, perhaps you could help collect more information for the article as well as educating me? 198.6.33.13 (talk) 22:49, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I have plenty of other stuff to do. :) Katr67 (talk) 23:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned

How do you tell how many articles are linked to an article? 198.6.33.13 (talk) 21:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Click on "What links here" in the toolbox on the lefthand side of the article. Katr67 (talk) 22:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Nice, thank you 198.6.33.13 (talk) 22:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Ford Foundation = the Ford Family Foundation?

I don't think that are the same thing. One is based in Michigan and one is based in Roseburg Oregon http://www.tfff.org/ 24.20.200.29 (talk) 03:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Fixed Duh. My bad. Is it notable enough to be linked for a future article? I'll redirect to Hallie Ford for now. Katr67 (talk) 04:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
I suspect it is notable enough, considering the number of times it has turned up in things I've been researching. Since there hasn't been an article I hadn't linked it before. —EncMstr 04:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
