Rating[edit]

I would like to dispute the "low" importance rating. This revue is still performed, was written by one of the most important American humorists of the last century, earned a special Tony for its writer and director, and is sufficiently notable that there were many incoming redlinks before the article was even written. Surely we can compromise on "mid" importance, yes? --Karen | Talk | contribs 02:30, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's no indication of that degree of notability in the article as it stands. DionysosProteus (talk) 02:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Tony Award is mentioned, and the links with Thurber's two most famous works are documented in some detail. What would satisfy you? A citation in which someone mentions Thurber's importance in American literature? A discussion of reviews and further stagings? Both can be provided, if that helps. Any suggestions - not to mention help in extending the article in any deficient areas - would be welcomed. --Karen | Talk | contribs 06:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
