The Memphis Comedy & Improv Alliance

Non-notable group. Google search on "Memphis Comedy & Improv Alliance" nets only 31 unique hits on 62 returns. Fails Wikipedia:Notability, in that there is a lack of significant amount of media coverage that is not trivial in nature and that deals specifically with the organization as the primary subject.

Additional comment: Article creator Lawcomic appears to be one of the founders of this group. Definitely violates self-promotion and autobiography guidelines. MikeWazowski 05:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As long as they don't get together & start the ol' "Memphis Comedy & Imrpov Alliance unite!!!", I think we'll be okay in deleting it... ;) Spawn Man 06:03, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This group has been written up in "The Commercial Appeal", Memphis' newspaper. Links on the MCIA web site show that membership includes local and national comedy clubs and several groups. The calendar published by the MCIA is of value to individuals seeking information on comedy in the Mid-South. Finally, the MCIA is not "self promoting". It is a resource for multiple groups.

Thank you for your consideration. --Lawcomic 15:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
