The Play or its Production Histories
What is the point of this article? Is it about the play itself, or about its production history? Articles about plays can include notable productions from its history, but I do not believe they should come in the form of list after list of company members.

There has been a lot of back and forth recently between those who wish to list every single production ever produced (which smacks of self-promotion) and those who think it should include information limited to the original, developmental productions. Even if the latter is chosen as the ideal - which I believe it should - it is about time it was shaped into something resembling an encyclopedic entry. Anyone?

 * I presume that the theatre WikiProject has probably dealt with this question before. Perhaps they have guidance on this issue. I agree that only the most notable productions should be listed for the article. One possible solution might be to only list those productions which appear in the front matter of the published play. In my experience, this is usually limited to two productions. Another would be to only list those productions which are referenced by reliable sources. Either way, I'm not so sure that a the first reading meets the standard of notability. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 20:32, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Removal of copyright violations
I removed the specific instances of "copyright violations" cited (or, more specifically, NOT cited) attributed to the play. The name "Charlie Brown" alone is generally not enough to be considered protected under copyright..., and, since a source a court case challenging its use in this play has never been resolved, or even proposed, the assertion of the violations the play has caused is hearsay at best. It isn't even very logical, because the copyright office itself says that names are generally not protected, and that such things are better left to trademark law, which does not cover the use of the names in a play. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.170.47.187 (talk) 05:26, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Good point, unsigned editor. In spite of the fact that these sole uses of the proper name "Charlie Brown" and obvious nods to titles of several Peanuts animated specials (You're a good man, Charlie Brown; You're in love, Charlie Brown) have been used onstage yet omitted from the printed play versions, any suggestion as to why they have been struck from the printed record is entirely speculative.
