This is a duplicate list of Chronology of early-modern British women playwrights, just sorted alphabetically. Either this functionally should be merged into that article, or just use a category like Category:Women writers (early modern), which already sorts alphabetically. Having to maintain two identical lists is pointless. Gonnym (talk) 16:43, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women, Lists of people, Theatre, History, and United Kingdom. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 17:21, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Chronology of early-modern British women playwrights per above. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:56, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge: Merge article with the aforementioned Chronology of early-modern British women playwrights, per arguments above. —Mjks28 (talk) 03:29, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge the 2022-created Chronology of early-modern British women playwrights into this 2006-created list, but convert to a table sortable on surname and birth and death dates (have to work out what to do with the "fl." people), to provide all the functionaliy of both lists. (Note that the inclusion criterion of "active ... before about 1800" seems rather loosely applied as Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) is in both lists, although not in List of early-modern British women poets!)

• Merge under the title "List of early-modern British women playwrights", as per the reasons listed in the proposal and responses above, as well as in my previous comments on both talk pages. In fact, putting List of early-modern British women playwrights into a table and removing Chronology of early-modern British women playwrights, which has not been updated, has been on my to-do list for awhile. Since doing so would probably mean making the same changes to the sister lists, List of early-modern British women novelists and List of early-modern British women poets, I have been putting it off. — scribblingwoman 07:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
