Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Durham Revue
for |failing to live up to |its own hype. There are quite a few sources, so |notability seemes assured... until you look through them and run a couple more searches for this club. Then the whole facade falls over; only a handful of those |sources actually ''mention'' the revue and (apart from the blog comments) those mentions are only in passing. The credit that the article gives for being a starting-point for writers, comedians, etc, etc, is unfortunately ignored by those people in question, too. One brief comparative look at The Oxford Revue and the Cambridge Footlights demonstrates that this group is not really in the same ballpark, certainly not as far as notable alumni are concerned. The Wp:COI|pretty obvious COI does not really help, either. Oh, and also... the Smirnoff Underbelly don't mention the award that it's claimed they won. I was considering a weak delete, but I think I've convinced myself otherwise
