All Stars Comedy

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

Local comedy club in "a small sandwich shop". No assertion of notability in article. Created by SPA whose username suggests COI, promotional intent. A Google search for ("all stars comedy") yields many spurious hits; refining the terms to search Google, Google News, and Google News Archives for ("all stars comedy" arlington) and for ("all stars comedy" listranis) yields directory entries, Yelp reviews, and entertainment schedules, but nothing that looks like in-depth independent coverage.

Delete possibly speedily as attack. All but one of those external links seem to have attacking quotes that do not appear to be on the site linked. Having said that, certain 'comedians' might take them as compliments... There can hardly be promotional intent for a club that finished in 2010 and whose founder died in 2011. Looks non-notable, anyway. Peridon (talk) 16:56, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that delete-as-attack is a valid conclusion; the attack aspects could be remedied by removing the external links in question (which were all added at once by an IP editor: see diff). The article was apparently created as a promotional piece, then attacked by someone else. The real issue, however, seems to be notability or lack thereof.

I must say it's quite fun as it is... The one review in there does back up the point of view of the attacker. Peridon (talk) 21:13, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A search for reliable sources doesn't bring up anything that would show that this now defunct comedy club would pass notability guidelines. I was also unable to find anything to show notability for its founder. I've removed the Yelp type reviews from the article. Although they do have a train wreck hilarity to them, these aren't considered to be reliable sources that would show notability for the club. Some of the other links were ones that were about the place the club was set in rather than about the comedy club itself. This is a pretty easy delete decision.
