Non-notable, one of several play-stub articles created solely because of one actor who once performed in them, along with:

A Google books search found nothing substantial on these. I nominate them all for deletion. Aristophanes68 (talk) 20:00, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all I don't know what search engine you use but let me see:

Johnny Johnson 1393 hits in newspapers, google books sources: [1], [2], [3], [4],
Blood on the Cat's Neck [5] [6], [7], Highbeam: [8], [9]
Farewell, My Lovely [10], [11], (I've redirected to main book which has a paragraph on the radio play)
Frozen Assets [12], [13],[14], [15], [16]
Ideal Gnome Exhibition: no preview though, no preview, [17], [18]

I'm guessing that you google book searched The Rise and Fall of the Romanov Autocracy only and because it turned up nothing you assumed the others were all non notable.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:51, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: No, I looked up all those titles in Google Books and couldn't find any significant mention of PLAYS by those names. Maybe the UK version has different databases than the US version, but I found lots of mentions of the titles as names or phrases, but not as plays. The fact that the articles didn't even mention the author's names made it more difficult. Regardless, the articles' only proof of notability is that they were connected by the same actor, so those should have been tagged for notability issues months ago. I will add all these sources to the talk pages of the respective plays so that they can be added to the articles to establish notability. Thanks, Aristophanes68 (talk) 19:26, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the ones that have plenty of sources, either given in the article or showing up on a search, such as Blood on the Cat's Neck. Delete the others, if there are any. I find a multiple submission of unrelated and very different articles very confusing. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:56, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have deleted The Rise and Fall of the Romanov Autocracy per WP:CSD#G7 at its author's request. JohnCD (talk) 16:20, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: And now I see that two of those articles have now been redirected to other articles and that the other three have been filled in. Whoever did all that, thanks! Am I allowed to remove the deletion tag, or do I have to wait until more folks have voted? Aristophanes68 (talk) 19:33, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just "withdraw" the nom.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:43, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw remaining noms, unless other people want to contest their notability. Aristophanes68 (talk) 04:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would an admin please withdraw this as requested? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:19, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
