"Performance repertoire" section[edit]
After reviewing numerous pages in related categories, including Brendan Fernandes, Karel Pekelharing and David Lee Moroni, I could not find any established, lengthy sections like the "Performance Repertoire" section on this page. I have removed it, but included the notable details within a Career sub-section, and will search for potential citations to clean up the inherent issues with the old page as I continue to work on this page.

- Check Lady Gaga's Page. Entire repertoire is listed. 65.92.96.66 (talk) 15:14, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
- Please see Xander Parish, David Hallberg, Manuel Legris . Repertoire and pieces taken out of the article is problematic. OperaBalletGirl (talk) 10:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Unsourced and non-neutral language[edit]
I have reverted a change to the article as unsourced and non-neutral, including the statement "celebrates an exemplary 22-year career". Starting discussion here for other editors to comment if they disagree. Tacyarg (talk) 09:24, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Have reverted an edit which added unsourced statements and some non-neutral language. Have tagged the article with needing more citations. Other editors are welcome to discuss this here. Tacyarg (talk) 22:12, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Recent additions do not read neutral to me - possibly from a fan's point of view? - and are sourced to La Notte Ballet, which I think may be a self-published source. See its about page. Do other editors have views? I will tag the article with lead too long, possibly unreliable sources, and copyedit for tone and style - language like "prestigious" and underlining. Not all text is sourced; eg para starting "McKie has danced with some of the most notable ballerinas ... ". Tacyarg (talk) 19:30, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- What makes an unreliable source? Are you saying LaNotte’s editor is not an authoritative ballet expert? Please be careful. The frequency at which this page is being edited & stripped of important, relevant career information often within seconds is suspicious. Some of the comments editors are leaving imply a conflict of interest and significant bias. (Non-neutral editing).
- tips are always appreciated. Demolishing an entire article and leaving insulting comments is problematic to say the very least. OperaBalletGirl (talk) 10:44, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Dancers of note who formed important partnerships with other dancers are very important to a Dancer’s career.
- We urge you to please research ballet dancers, actors and singers. Duets & full discography are integral. Also, Journalists expressing admiration for a Dancer does not make them a "Fan". If you have more concerns please be respectful and come speak to one of the Authors rather than butchering and hacking away at the article on whim. OperaBalletGirl (talk) 16:42, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Inappropriate comment removed from top of article[edit]
"It has come to our attention that this page has come under non-neutral scrutiny and that Editors are using insulting language while making edits. Editors have removed the subject’s selected repertoire, removed important duets and partnerships the subject contributed to and have even removed elements of the subject’s career without doing any fact checking or research. Inappropriate claims were made accusing contributing journalists of having poor integrity & citing COI if a journalist has ever interviewed, bumped into or even come in any web-contact with the subject. It appears that, looking through the edits, it is indeed this group of editors calling COI who have done the most unqualified, unethical & un-researched damage to the page’s integrity. Please stop trying to accuse without evidence of bias." added by User:OperaBalletGirl.
- I've looked at edit summaries for the last 100 edits and can't see insulting language, unless this editor meant references to puffery and promotional language. These both have specific meanings in Wikipedia terms, so editors committed to a neutral point of view should not find them insulting. Tacyarg (talk) 21:41, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
Notability[edit]
Article has been plagued by conflict of interest editors puffing up the content, it is not remotely clear how the subject passes WP:GNG, most sources are passing mentions. Theroadislong (talk) 15:20, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
