Editors may wish to comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drayton Entertainment production history. The outcome of this AFD could impact other performing arts related list, including those lists related to the production/performance of performing arts festivals and companies. All opinions are welcome.4meter4 (talk) 18:13, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

I am writing to inform you that we have imported nearly 1,000 photos of theatrical performances taken by Fred Erismann between 1933 and 1968 as part of his work as a photographer for the Stadttheater in Bern into Wikimedia Commons. The rights of reuse were released by his daughter when she donated her father's archives to the SAPA Foundation (Swiss Performing Arts Archives). On behalf of this foundation, we imported the photos with certain structured metadata into Commons, then added links to the images in the corresponding production entries in Wikidata (project page on Wikidata).

The photos are recordings of performances or rehearsals. The plays performed can be identified using the metadata imported into Commons. The name of the play can be found under “Title” and by following the link under “Source” you can also find the photograph's entry directly in the performing-arts.ch database managed by the SAPA Foundation. In this entry, the description of the production itself can be found under “Subject”.

You can find these photos in the Commons category Fonds Erismann (SAPA-A-1553). You can also filter photos using these different queries:

• List of images grouped by representation: https://w.wiki/HsDB
• List of images grouped by work: https://w.wiki/HsDD
• List of photos whose main subject has an article on English Wikipedia: https://w.wiki/Hsym

Unfortunately, we do not have any information about the people depicted in the photos. However, we hope that some of you will be able to identify them.

I think some of these images could be useful to illustrate Wikipedia articles: please feel free to use them as you see fit (examples of reuse: the opera Penthesilea, the theater play Woyzeck on French Wikipedia).

If you have any questions about the images, or specific requests regarding inquiries or information to be forwarded to the SAPA Foundation, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you in advance. VIGNERON en résidence (talk) 14:50, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
