Oppose with a suggested alternative - I've never seen a Wikipedia article wrap around the footnote counter. Perhaps we could find some references that talk about many plays at once, instead of citing the manuscript for each play. I don't know how you would rationally divide this article. Maybe it would be useful to tighten up the list criteria to "Plays that have had at least two cited public performances by a professional company for a paying audience". An easier criterion would be "either the play or the author has an article" - we could apply that mechanically without a lot of research. --Wtshymanski (talk) 15:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
Support - Because the year of publication already appears in the current list, the list could easily be split into three lists: List of Canadian plays: 19th century, List of Canadian plays: 20th century, List of Canadian plays: 21st century. On one hand, blue ink throughout (article already in existence) makes the page more attractive. On the other hand, people may be more inclined to contribute if they already see the play in red ink.

I must admit the vast number of Red Links makes me think the delete option is the better option. If the article is to be split, then please do it properly i.e. 1 article per first letter with a template for navigating etc. The way this split has started is not a long term solution.
