Stage Play - Title Requires Deletion?

The following page relates to the stage musical Annie which toured Australia in 2011-2012. tt7693920 To the best of my knowledge this version of the play has never been shown in cinemas or televised, although a CD was released of this cast performing the songs. A TV show “An Audience with the Cast of Annie” was shown on Pay TV in Australia, but this entry does not appear to relate to this TV special - it is unlikely the entire cast appeared and the production credits refer to the stage play. Although it wouid be a shame for the meticulous details showing for this title to be lost, if I am correct and this is purely a stage production, it should not feature on IMDb.

Based on the information you've provided and my knowledge of IMDb guidelines, it's likely that the IMDb page for "Annie (2011)" (tt7693920) should be deleted if it solely represents the 2011-2012 Australian stage production. tollsbymailny Here's why: IMDb primarily catalogs films, television shows, and video games. While there can be exceptions for filmed versions of stage productions, the key is whether it was shown in cinemas or televised. You explicitly state that this version was never shown in cinemas or televised. The existence of a cast recording CD and a separate "An Audience with the Cast of Annie" TV special (which you believe is unrelated) doesn't qualify the stage production itself for inclusion. IMDb's guidelines for "Title eligibility" generally require the work to be of public interest and have been available to the public through means like cinema release, TV broadcast, streaming services, or physical media release (like a DVD of the performance, not just a soundtrack). A stage production, by its nature, has a limited audience attending live performances.
