You left a message asking about the Drama school article. There are many more schools offering a training in drama in the UK than those listed. We have a criterion in order to determine which are notable enough to appear on the encyclopedia's article--membership of the Conference of Drama Schools. The vast majority of training institutions would claim to have produced students who have gone on to work in British theatre, film or television--this in itself does not establish notability. It was on that basis, as detailed in the edit history, that I removed the recent entry.

Kind regards, and happy editing, DionysosProteus (talk) 11:19, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Please explain your reasoning for reverting ASAD from the Drama School listing in the UK.

Hello Dionysos Proteus

You removed the addition of "The Academy of The Science of Acting and Directing" to the British Schools Title under the heading of "Drama/Acting Schools" in the Wikipedia "Drama School" Section.

Please explain the reason for this or acknowledge that I may reinstate it.

The website (http://www.asad.org.uk/) was added just as every other entry (even though the section has yet to be created) and if you research ASAD you will find that it has been recognised as a Drama School in London since it was established in 1991.

The Academy of The Science of Acting and Directing (previously registered as The School of The Science of Acting) has many times been featured in "The Stage", several graduates who trained at ASAD are known in the proffesion, such as Eddie Marsan, Philip Bulcock and David Bark-Jones (listed on the IMDB website).

The founder and former principal "Sam Kogan" trained under Professor Maria Knebel at the Moscow Institute of Theatre Arts (1966 to 1971) who herself was a former student and colleague of Constantin Stanislavski.

Yours faithfully
