subpages of this page

Die Kontrakte des Kaufmanns. Eine Wirtschaftskomödie

This stub is of a play by a Nobel Prize winner, Elfriede Jelinek, so it must be at least somewhat important. Unfortunately, it's been unsourced for 10 years. Can someone please add reliable sources? Or would you suggest a redirect? Please discuss. Bearian (talk) 02:57, 23 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Theaterachse

The article Theaterachse has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced and Not Notable for 6 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. The German language article has a single source that is a dead link.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 03:00, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Tina Fabrique

The article Tina Fabrique has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Acting age

I can't find any reliable sources. Please help! Bearian (talk) 04:12, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian: "Acting age" may be a made up neologism by someone trying to describe a particular casting practice. The concept might be better found under searching for "age range" for actors. I would suggest a move to Age range. See these sources: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9],

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

"This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Guidelines for Lists of stage works

Are there any guidelines for, or examples of particularly good lists (especially embedded lists), of stage works? MOS for body text seems clear, and MOS:LISTSOFWORKS is clear for published works, films, etc, but things are fuzzy in terms of theater credits and I see a lot of inconsistency across different pages, especially for interpretive work: directing, acting, design, etc. I've seen such lists deleted as being indiscriminate, poorly sourced lists, lists with the same production multiple times (i.e. Broadway transfers), among other problems.
