:@ {{u|Mark E}} The benefit of having lists on wikipedia is having lists with wiki-links which allow you to go to encyclopedia entries on people, places, things, etc within those lists. An external list doesn't interlink with wikipedia's content so I would not support the removal of this list. Further, our project doesn't have the authority to make this kind of decision unilaterally. Removing/deleting content falls under the purview of [[WP:AFD]]. The list is a bit bulky with the producers listed towards the bottom, but that is not a valid reason to remove the list which clearly passes [[WP:LISTN]] and would easily survive an AFD. Perhaps some sort of reformatting would help organize the content more easily and solve the complaint about bulky reading?

I noticed that the article for Laird Mackintosh, who played the title role for the last performance of The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, needs some improvement. Any help with sourcing would be appreciated. Best, Thriley (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Great new source (at least new to me)
Hi all. I just discovered a treasure trove of material at the Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals (1760–1966); a website dedicated to making historic music journals available to the public. These are particularly useful for this project for reviews of early musicals and operettas. If you have interests in classical music, opera, etc. it is an even better resource for those content areas. Best.4meter4 (talk) 12:08, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
