Prolific theatrical person, but I'm not showing extensive coverage in RS. Plenty of name drops, nothing more. Oaktree b (talk) 00:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are a lot of Broadway directors who do not have Wikipedia articles. A NY-based director/choreographer who has never worked on Broadway and never won (or, apparently, been nominated for) an Obie or Lortel Award (never mind Drama Desk, Critics' Circle, or Drama League Award) is not one of the more notable directors in New York. I also note that the "bluelinked" references to Around the World in Eighty Days are misleading, as the musical does not have a Wikipedia article and, indeed, the particular production directed by Klein is claimed to have been at a different theatre in the page that is linked. See WP:MILL. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:31, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For Around the World in Eighty Days I bluelinked to the section heading on the novel's page for "Adaptions and Influences," which discusses the specific Mark Brown production. Moving forward, should I not make section links like these?

Re: the Around the World in Eighty Days theater, good catch––checking it out, I see this theater has been called "The New Theater at 45th Street," the "Davenport Theater," and the "AMT Theater" within the past ten years. I made that correction for accuracy. This is detailed on the AMT Theater page.

Re: noteworthy, I was taking a cue from other Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway NYC theater director pages like May Adrales, Erin B. Mee, Richard Kimmel, Carl Schmehl, Jeff Whiting, and others who don't have Obie/Lortel/Drama Desk/Critics Circle/Drama League awards/noms. TheatreHawk (talk) 23:31, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
