Deletion

A tag has been placed on Dance Theater Workshop, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Note: I removed quite a bit of HTML markup in the lists while wikifying the article, but given the large amount of non-wiki formatting and blatant advertising tone, this is most likely a copyright violation. *Vendetta* _{(whois talk edits)} 18:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on please

While it does seem true that most of this copy was probably pulled from a DTW brochure, let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater here. This organization/venue has been in the forefront of the modern dance scene in NYC for decades. Can we all give it some re-write before we just throw the whole piece out? J.

Suggested stub:

Here's a suggestion for an editted version which omits many of the weasel sections:

Dance Theater Workshop is a New York City performance space and service organization for dance companies. Located on West 19th Street in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, DTW was founded in 1965 by Jeff Duncan, Art Bauman and Jack Moore as a choreographers' collective.

More than 200 concerts and exhibits by some 70 contemporary dance, theater, music, visual and video artists are sponsored annually by Dance Theater Workshop.

Such notable artists as: Mark Morris, David Gordon, Bill T. Jones, Susan Marshall, Ron Brown, Donald Byrd, H.T. Chen, David Dorfman, Doug Elkins, Molissa Fenley, Whoopi Goldberg, Janie Geiser, Bill Irwin, LadyGourd Sangoma, Ralph Lemon, Bebe Miller, Michael Moschen, David Parsons, Lenny Pickett, Merián Soto, Pepón Osorio, Paul Zaloom and hundreds of others found an early artistic home at Dance Theater Workshop.

Removed deletion tag

I'd like to apologize for jumping to conclusions on this article. The rewrite you provided is a vast improvement in tone and content; I've removed the db-spam deletion request I placed earlier, and replaced it with your rewrite. I've also stubbed the article with dance-stub, though there may be a more specific one that I'm not aware of. Please let me know if I can help with anything. *Vendetta* _{(whois talk edits)} 19:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

The photo is of New York Live Arts. This is after the renovation. Is there a photo of the original building? This is not DTW. 2603:7000:8C00:3BE7:AC51:E233:AACE:BCD9 (talk) 12:13, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
