• Keep or Merge I feel rather weakest on this, because of the six notable campaigns I made entries for, this is mine, and I feel very lame arguing for my material. It comes down to this. Theatre Style LARP is rather under-represented on the web, because almost all of the discussion of it has taken place in a few specific forums. However it is a meaningful vital art form, and this campaign occupies a significant place in any larger discussion of its evolution and development. I would point out that there are Live Combat groups which have standing references only because they happen to have an active web page themselves, not because they have any particular intrinsic merit other than existing. I hope to expand the body of theoretical and historical information available on Theatre Style LARP, which is in fact a real writing discipline, emanating from Harvard and MIT in the early 80s. But if every supporting reference to it is going to be picked apart, that's difficult. I feel that because some entries may ultimately accrue quite a lot of detail, it would be best to let individual entries stand, however I can also see a valid argument for combining most of the significant examples on a single page of works within the discipline. --Jgodean 01:55,
  • My major concern here is the Wikipedia policy against original research. You say you hope to expand the body of theoretical and historical information available on Theatre Style LARP; that's a great goal, but Wikipedia is not a primary source. Wikipedia articles should be based on other, reliable sources. One of those Google hits, thelarper.org, is arguably a reliable source, but it's the only one I'm aware of, and it doesn't say much.
