Fails WP:GNG. Secondary source coverage basically only discusses the existence of a script; it appears that the musical has not had any public performances. Brianga (talk) 20:09, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per nom. Bondegezou (talk) 15:22, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• The ground stated in the nomination—that this play, hasn't (yet) been produced—isn't a sufficient basis for deletion, if it's otherwise notable under GNG or another standard. (Compare Category:Unproduced screenplays.) The article does cite multiple examples of substantial coverage in major reliable sources, and many more are apparent. However, all the cited coverage appears to have come in one short spurt around April 20-22, 2016; the one cited source outside that date range contains only a brief namedrop of the play. This may suggest that Jeb! The Musical's notability was essentially ephemeral, and insufficient to sustain a separate article. A better solution would be to merge and redirect this to Hamilton (play)#Legacy and impact Hamilton (musical)#Legacy and impact (or to a new section limited to parodies) where other parodies such as the off-Broadway hit Spamilton [1][2] should also be mentioned. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:05, 11 November 2016 (UTC) --corrected 16:39, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've no objection to a merge/redirect as suggested. Bondegezou (talk) 11:18, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • If it's moved, it should be to Hamilton (musical) and not Hamilton (play). Brianga (talk) 16:11, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, you're right. Thank you for catching my error. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:39, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Hamilton (musical) - I created this article when the topic was trending. The amount of sources definitely serve as grounds for inclusion on the Hamilton article, and I don't feel the content should be deleted entirely. Hammill Ten (talk) 00:46, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge per above. Sources may not support a standalone article, but can justify a mention in another article. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 00:25, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
