Not seeing the notability here, sourcing seems to be almost exclusively local or from the theater itself. 🌀Locomotive207-talk🌀 12:25, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

delete Seems to be of purely local interest. Mangoe (talk) 15:10, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

save Deleting isn’t worthy. This page was operating for a long time before this and until the idea to update it was brought up it stayed active. This theatre will become much more active and citizens and visitors in the County of Fairfield, CT may be interested in learning about the rich History. This is a town landmark and would not be worthy or logical of removing.

There are hundreds of "local landmarks" in the area, and yet none of them (unless they are listed on the NRHP or other notable register) have articles. It doesn't matter if people may be interested in learning about the rich history, that's not why we keep articles. I'd also like to point out that the above user appears to have joined Wikipedia for the purpose of voting here.--🌀Locomotive207-talk🌀 23:46, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What good would it do in deleting this Wiki Page. Local interest or not, people care about this. Also might I remind EVERYONE that Wikipedia literally says the point of a Wiki page is to benefit others as a free source of information on everything. I would also like to point out that the reason for articles of discussion is not to talk about other readers, but to see if deletion is necessary.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wabbott203 (talk • contribs)

Keep. There is coverage cited in article, including in The New York Times, July 23, 2006, and Fairfield Citizen-News "Don't Let The Lights Dim On Community Theatre". There is more coverage available. It's a community theatre; practically any such thing is likely going to be notable; wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION applies. --Doncram (talk) 16:20, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This appears to be a run-of-the-mill amateur theatre group, with no particularly noteworthy history or distinguishing features. I agree with User:Locomotive207's comments above. -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:56, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Having reviewed the two sources, I would not say that it's just a case of minor local coverage. State-wide coverage is broad enough for that not to apply. As well as the sourcing present in-article, we have source 1, source 2, source 3 and so on. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:31, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 19:03, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Nosebagbear. Further the theatre itself is located in the Fairfield Historic District which is in the National Register of Historic Places.4meter4 (talk) 02:57, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
