Neil Marcus is a notable figure in the disabled community[edit]
This article should not have the "not a notable figure" flag on it. Neil Marcus's play "Storm Reading" was performed at the Kennedy Center and toured throughout the U.S. - it was very influential in the Disability Rights Movement. In 1992 he won a United Nations Society of Writers Medal of Honor for Outstanding Achievement in Play Writing. A cursory Google search shows Marcus to be not just cited, but analyzed, in academic books such as Bodies in Commotion: Disability and Performance by By Carrie Sandahl and Philip Auslander. Neil continued to be an active artists, most recently partaking in Petra Kuppers' Olimpias dance/poetics project, which has toured all over the world. The Bancroft Library of U.C. Berkeley has archived Neil Marcus's papers. A documentary about Neil and the engagement of the disabled community with the arts is being shopped around right now. It seems to me to be very revealing of the "ablism" focus of the world that editors of Wikipedia would not think of the man who brought disability culture issues to the Kennedy Center as notable. This is just a world people who aren't disabled choose not to interact with or see. To call Neil Marcus "not notable" is a jaw-dropping error on the part of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theano2 (talk • contribs) 04:56, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The link for "Marcus, Neil. Special Effects: Advances in Neurology. Publication Studio, 2011" leads to a 404 error with "Ooops. Sorry, something has gone wrong."
