Dance Theater Workshop

A list of notable funders!notable organization. Spammy. What, does every museum in NYC have an article here? Basegirlball (talk) 00:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - Well, as a matter of fact, yes, every museum in New York should have a page here, because the museums in New York are generally world class and significant. But that's entirely irrelevant, because Dance Theatre Workshop is not a museum at all, it is one of the premiere presenters of modern and post-modern dance and performance art in New York, which happens to be the dance capital of the U.S., and one of the most significant locations for dance in the world. Whatever are the deficiencies of the article, it has nothing to do with the notability of the organization. A search of the NY Times website for "Dance Theater Workshop" brings up over 1500 hits since 1981. In 2007 alone there are 126 hits. Almost every performance at DTW is reveiwed by the major media, some of them by national media. A Google search for "Dance Theater Workshop" brings up 46,300 hits. There is absolutely no question about its notability, and this AfD should be speedily closed. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ^{(talk / cont)} 00:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
