Fails WP:GNG. No independent sources. Mr. Guye ( talk) 03:03, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
- Mr. Guye, how were independent sources referenced in the article at time of AfD "No independent sources"? And why did you put this into AfD in less than two hours of article creation [1] instead of either improving the article or placing an improvement tag on it? -- Oakshade ( talk) 19:45, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep There are two independent sources in the article now. Here is a third source. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:24, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

- Comment. This theater appears to be a contributing property to the North Central Historic District (Baltimore, Maryland). I'm not yet sure whether or not it should have a stand-alone article. • Gene93k ( talk) 15:53, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep. In addition to Cullen328's source - for which thanks - I found and added more local coverage, including about the local guy who's tried to get it restored. It's been a continuing story, meets GNG. The pictures on the archived version of his website suggest there may be coverage in books on American picture palaces. Apparently the name on the building is Parkway Theatre; if kept, the article should be moved, possibly to Parkway Theatre (Baltimore). Yngvadottir ( talk) 17:23, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - It took less than 3 seconds to find independent in-depth sources. [2] [3] [4]. It is obvious WP:BEFORE was not followed and this is not the first time this nom has started AfDs on new articles with zero research. Might a RfC be in order? -- Oakshade ( talk) 19:54, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
