Completely unsourced (and tagged as such since 2007 without improvement in the intervening 11 years) article about an acting-school exercise, without much context for why an encyclopedia article about it would be needed. As always, we don't keep unsourced articles just because the topic exists, especially if we can only write four sentences of content about it. The text of the exercise itself represents more than half of the entire article — but while I'm sure it's in the public domain and not a copyright violation per se, an article which consists primarily of the primary source text of the subject, rather than properly sourced analysis about the subject, is still unencyclopedic regardless of whether it's a copyright problem or not.

Delete total lack of sourcing to show this is notable. This could with proper historical context be developed into an encyclopedic article, but at present it is just a dictionary article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:40, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
