Top Dog Theatre

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

First AfD closed as no consensus in 2010. Frankly I think the original nom was correct - this fails WP:NORG and WP:GNG. There is coverage, but it is strictly routine local coverage from Christchurch. Nothing indicating that it has garnered "sufficiently significant attention by the world at large", per WP:N. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:12, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:NORG. Local coverage only. No independent sources presented during the last AfD (seven years ago) and the article looks more like an advertisement rather than an encyclopedic entry. Ajf773 (talk) 18:34, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I read The Press daily and this group doesn't appear to get attention by the local newspaper. I follow the arts scene (mostly music, though, but occasionally theatre) and Top Dog Theatre doesn't ring a bell. I am aware of the Summer Shakespeare plays, but not that it's a production by this group. So if, as an interested local, I'm not aware of them, then a case for WP:GNG is hard to make.

Delete. No indication of anything except routine "things to do" coverage in a local paper, which says very little about the subject of the article. --RL0919 (talk) 10:31, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
