Talk:Proscenium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Proscenium can refer to the literal architectural arch, the literal form of staging (using a proscenium) or the form of staging (whether or not the arch is present). Both Proscenium and Proscenium arch have some good information but Proscenium is filled with advertising. Proscenium is the broader term and, I feel, should be the final resting place of the two articles. --omtay38 06:02, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think that the two discuss different things. Proscenium should perhaps be renamed 'Proscenium theater' as this is what it really discusses. Proscenium arch is still a piece of achitechture and Proscenium theater is a style of performance and staging.
Againstthe merge. Also, i removed the advertising here as it was inapropriate. Hopefully it won't become a chronic problem. 48v 06:58, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

- The term Proscenium Arch is only used to describe the arch within a proscenium theater. If the the arch was used in other architectural forms, then I would see your point, but, because it isn't, I don't. A theater called a Proscenium theater must have a proscenium arch. If the theater is set up in the same fashion as proscenium theater (audience on one side, stage on the other) but does not have a proscenium arch, it is then referred to with the term end-on (which is another article entirely). I respect your intentions but do not find validity in your points. Thanks for gettin' rid of the advertising though! --omtay38 01:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

- Point taken, I think that a merge would be appropriate with a ridirect for whichever article is done away with. 48v 02:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
