  • Comment: There is still only one secondary source cited, and it is a local paper (The Bucks Herald); this is nowhere near enough coverage to establish notability per WP:GNG. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:20, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: One single review from a local newspaper does not make a subject notable via the WP:GNG. Please actually look at notability guidelines and at other articles. Do NOT resubmit until after serious revision and the addition of a number of reliable secondary sources which prove the subject is NOTABLE, not just that they had a performance witnessed by a reviewer.
