List of fictional plays

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly sourced list, filled with unnotable examples. Most of the works listed on the page make only a brief appearance in the work where they appear, and have very little importance to the plot. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. JDDJS ( talk to me  •  see what I've done ) 04:33, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Largely passing mentions of names with zero individual notability and no relationship to each other. Reywas92Talk 06:29, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and also delete List of fictional musicals too, which I have nominated. Undecided about List of fictional books. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:33, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Unreferenced cruft and total WP:OR. I'm actually curious whether there are any fictional plays that would be sufficiently notable to merit a list, but this isn't it and it shouldn't be kept in this state.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:48, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Some notable examples are discussed in Story within a story. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:37, 5 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete Basically if a play is fully nested, you could perform it and ignore the outer parts, so if something is developed enough to be notable it does not even belong on this list.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
