Talk:Noda Hideki (playwright)

message: I agree with the proposed merger. The other article is virtually a stub and does not contain anywhere near the detail and sources as the larger one. I think that much of the information in the short article is already present in the longer one. I have never done a merger so please go ahead.

message: Intro: After going through a lot of research and reading different articles about Hideki Noda, there seem to be a lot of information about his work and how he became successful. There were bits and pieces of his family and life journey but it was not much. I was hoping to find more about his motivation and life outside of theatre work but there are barely any information.
Key Points:
•	One of the top playwright artist in Japan
•	His work was so good that other countries took his stories and change some stuff to fit more of their culture
•	His group was so famous that he went to perform in London 
•	He is now working as a director at a new theatre called The New National Theatre
After looking at his Wikipedia page, I would like to add more external links because there’s only 2 on there. The page also looks pretty dull to me with no pictures at all so I’m going to try to include some pictures of his plays and him on there.
