Hey, I got all My information from this theatre's website, which I linked to at the bottom of the page. Is that sufficient referencing, because I don't think any works have been published, besides newspaper articles, about this theatre. Also, is this theatre significant enough to make an article about?

Okay, another question, Should I create a redirect at silver moon drive-in? I typed that in and when I hit the search button I couldn't find this article. This is my first article if you couldn't tell ;-) Michael1115 (talk) 19:29, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I seem to be having a problem making the redirect page. I've created the page but when I go there it only has a link instead of automatically taking me to this page. any help? Michael1115 (talk) 12:54, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems notable enough to me, there are very few in the state, one in the whole county, been around for more than 60 years, and has been mentioned in the news (local and otherwise.) removing the deletion notice. Michael1115 (talk) 18:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's been three days since the deletion notice was posted, and the voting is a tie. Does that mean we keep it? how long does the banner stay up? Michael1115 (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• It stays up for seven days. And we don't count the vote counts, we go by Consensus. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 23:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1. "the drive-in now by a local Presbytarian church." No, it's owned by Sun South Theatres, Inc. just like it says on the website. There is a small drive-in owned by a Presbyterian Church 25 miles away in Haines City, but I doubt they serve beer like the Silvermoon does.
2. "Both of these theatres continue to operate successfully." The Silvermoon may still operate successfully. The other theater is now Lealman Intermediate.
3. In 1976 the Drive-in was embroiled in a controversy when it was charged with showing "pornographic pictures" and included in a string of pickets by local church groups" The source cited (front page) (second page) discusses a church picket of the "Peek-A-Boo" Lounge in Lakeland. No picket of the Silvermoon is even implied in the article, although a church pastor briefly mentioned the Silvermoon saying "we oughta close the Silvermoon, too."

Please double check the sources, but I am confident the article- regardless of whether or not the subject is notable, is now correct. Thanks, VictorianMutant^(Talk) 06:06, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The one other theater that Silvermoon is affiliated with besides that 28th Street Drive-In in St Pete that closed in 2000, is the Joy-Lan Drive-In in Dade City, Florida. I just though the editors of this article should know this. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 11:58, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
