 * Symbol question.svg Date, length OK; article well-cited. Reference AGF.  But the hook does not precisely reflect the wording of the article; inserting the word "considered" after "is" would remedy this. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Also reviewing this. I agree with Peter. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:02, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * That's a touch weaselly. Looking at both Finlayson references, I think the claim is justified, but currently supported by by only one of them. A bit of adding to the article (re the Theatre of Pompey in Rome, the only one clearly larger etc) would solve the problem, & it would benefit from it. Johnbod (talk) 18:20, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, the "surviving" keyword rules out the Pompey theatre in Rome (and any others that we may not know about, e.g. Antioch). I rephrased the article to be like the hook (with the added detail about Ephesus). Do you think that works? Yazan (talk) 18:32, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg That works for me. (I made "theatres" plural in the article). --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 19:03, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
