[edit] Lowin and Downes

John Downes' statement about Lowin and Shakespeare is clearly appropriate for a work of reference, since it appears in a number of such reference works, including the one used here as a source, Halliday's Shakespeare Companion. As long as it's presented as what it is — a report from a specific source, not a fact, but not a subjective POV statement either — it's acceptable. Much of the material we possess on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, as well as historical figures of previous eras, consists of such reported information. If we deleted all such material, we'd have little left. Ugajin 18:56, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
