Opening heading
editI've taken it upon myself to re-write the piece, as the People's is a very long-established and important theatre. Someone more closely associated with the theatre will supply the links no doubt. My material is on my website www.myersnorth.co.uk and is accurate to my knowledge.

The People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne → People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne — Relisted. This request does not seem to be objecting to the name as not being correct, but rather a sorting issue. If that is in how it appears in categories, then there is a different fix. Relisting to see if there is any support to move as the correct name. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:13, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Remove the leading word "The", which prevents the entry being listed and found under "P" for "People's". Peopleswriter (talk) 15:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Support The reason given by the proposer is not a good reason for a move. As Vegaswikian says, there are other ways to deal with that problem. However, we should be guided by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name), which states If the definite or indefinite article would be capitalized in running text, then include it at the beginning of the page name. Otherwise, do not include it at the beginning of the page name. In this case, the theatre's own website refers to Members of the People's Theatre, which suggests the definite article (the) should not be included in the title we use.

People's Theatre Arts Group
editThe "People's" was not just a theatre, even in the Rye Hill days. As I recall, there was an arts group and a film-society operating under the banner "People's Theatre Arts Group". Last time I was at the current venue (in the 1970s) there was a Gulbenkian Gallery and the film screen, central speaker and Peerless arc projectors were still in place. It would be nice to see this recognised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.83.248.212 (talk) 14:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
