List of currently running Broadway shows
Wikipedia is not a directory. More importantly, the list appears to be only intermittently updated, which means there's a good possibility the information is often incomplete and/or incorrect. There are an untold number of web sites devoted to theater and New York City tourism that handle this sort of thing far better; it's best that we leave it to them. Aaron 04:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This isn't the sort of thing that an encyclopedia is good for. --Metropolitan90 04:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Let's leave this to the New Yorker's "On the Town" section, okay? They, at least, update weekly. --Calton | Talk 05:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP:NOT a directory, indiscriminate collection of information. They can always check guide books, websites etc. for such stuff. --Ter e nce Ong (T 05:58, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Wikipedia is not a playbill, and this list provides not added value (cf. WP:LIST).-- danntm T C 15:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-historical lists that require constant maintenance are inappropriate. -Amatulic 23:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
