Stubbed
[edit]This page seems to have accumulated so much WP:fancruft over the years that it seemed the best approach was to blow it up and start over. As the theatre is purportedly the recipient of several awards I don't doubt it is itself notable, but long lists and detailed timelines mostly citing primary sources aren't encyclopedic. Suggest new information is inserted with greater parsimony. Simonm223 (talk) 14:58, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- Too bad it has all been dumped back. Theroadislong (talk) 15:02, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
@Drmies: I understand my stubbing was drastic but this page has to be cut back to WP:DUE standards - suggestions going forward? Simonm223 (talk) 15:07, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, trim more... sorry but that was just too much. I've cut 25% of the article already in the last 24 hours, but that's the easy part. There's a few more sections that need to be cleaned up--the redundant formatting alone will remove up to 10%, maybe. Then the text. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater: such companies frequently miss out on Wikipedia inclusion, and so I suggest a careful reading of the sources and judicious editing. If only we had decent sources for those awards, for instance. Drmies (talk) 15:13, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- Well, this is a source--it's self-published, but it's something. This article needs some love from someone with some knowledge of Wikipedia guidelines, someone with time to spare, and without a COI. But it's not really collected cruft--it's the archive, if you will, of at least two COI editors (of good faith, no doubt, but without a great interest in following our guidelines).

- I hear you. But I'm not putting my hand up for sorting through all those refs to figure out what's actually an RS. Agree the awards speak to notability, are appropriate for Wikipedia and need RSes as a top priority. Simonm223 (talk) 15:52, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
