Photo negative casting

Patrick Stewart
Patrick Stewart
  • ... that Patrick Stewart (pictured) invented photo negative casting in order to play Othello when it had become no longer acceptable to perform the role in blackface? Source: Playbill

Created by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 05:45, 14 June 2020 (UTC).

  • Symbol confirmed.svg - Article is new enough, long enough, policy compliant, and not a COPYVIO. The sources all look reliable. Hook is interesting, within length requirements, and supported by a citation to a reliable source. The sentence the hook appears in in the article is accompanied by a citation to a reliable source. Image is free and used in the article. QPQ done. Good to go. Hog Farm (talk) 19:37, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I am wary of the page name and also the hook claim. Only The Guardian article calls it "photo negative casting" (and puts that in quotes). The main article, Color-blind casting, does not mention it at all. The latter article, which does not mention this 1997 Othello performance either, cites casting in the 1983 film Never Say Never Again and Batman (1989 film) as earlier examples of this phenomenon. It seems to be a neologism coined by The Guardian, and a discussion of the Othello performance probably belongs in Color-blind casting. Yoninah (talk) 18:54, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Colour blind is where the colour of someone is irrelevant in casting, Photo negative is where the colour of the actors/characters is deliberately reversed. They are two different concepts. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 19:58, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Well, I'm only finding the term, in quotes, in The Guardian and Brockett. Everywhere else it refers to photography. I'm not convinced that this is a valid page name. Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
  • I think you should get more consensus on this. Anyone who searches on "Photo negative" will end up at Negative (photography). Yoninah (talk) 20:54, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
