Sounds like a nice show. However, if I understand it correctly, this was a 3-minute piece in 2010 and a 50-minute piece in 2011, performed only at the Orlando International Fringe Theater Festival--which isn't the biggest venue around. The reviews are exclusively from the local press: three short paragraphs on this blog, a few more paragraphs on this blog. What's in here is invisible to me. This isn't even a complete blurb. This is the most noteworthy of the bunch--and, might I add, makes it sound like a show I would enjoy too. But, unfortunately, I don't see how this meets our notability guidelines. Sorry.

• Keep. Hi there -- are you looking for sources outside of the local press? Atlanta picked up one of the stories here. The Orlando International Fringe Festival is the longest running of its kind in the US and one of the largest in North America. Dog Powered Robot received seven awards at show and was just named "Best Fringe Show" by the Orlando Weekly. Are the blogs the problem? We were up against shows from New York, Japan, England too. Let us know what more you need. Thanks. Jollycookritt (talk) 02:26, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Hello Jollycookritt. It's not so much what I need; I don't decide on these matters, a consensus of other editors will. BTW, I've place a "keep" in front of your name, figuring you'd be on that side. What we need is multiple sources reviewing or discussing the production/group in depth; mentions in just the local press are usually not enough to be deemed notable. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:44, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I looked at your sources. Notability for the festival has to be established in that article, but the FAQ from the organization is not going to help much. The Atlanta mentions--it's a few paragraphs in TheDailyCity.com, which doesn't strike me as a very notable publication. But I am going to stay out of this and let other editors weigh in.

• • Cool. Also, here is a new link for the Brink Magazine article (which was not correct before) with a full review of the show. I'll continue pulling more sources about the Fringe Festival's notability. Thanks, Jollycookritt (talk) 16:47, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
