• Delete - can only find passing mentions of it. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 19:37, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Many of the statements in the article are obviously someone grinding an axe: "many long-time fans of Bang Bang and other regulars stopped coming as they weren't fond of the Heartland folks. ...the sale of the No Exit Cafe was more or less a last nail in the coffin of Bang Bang." -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:39, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
• Delete. Most of the actual content of the article isn't cited at all. The IMDb citations are mostly there to verify that some of the members of this theater company have appeared in films or television, not to describe their involvement in this theater company. I'm also puzzled by the self-contradictory statement, "Burt Heyman, whose whereabouts are unknown, may still be performing at the Hemingway House with the Hemingway Players." --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:35, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:MOS. IMDb is not a source. Other citations are not up to snuff.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:54, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
