Talk:Karen Hardy

Balanced view?

This article seems to contain some rather overblown promotional claims and statements which are currently being presented as fact. In my opinion they contravene WP's policies on neutral point of view, verifiability and original research.

The statements of concern are:

"Hardy and Watson were the best in the entire profession in the 1990s" (NPoV)

"they have been credited with breaking the mould of Latin-American dancing, and dragging the dance form into the 21st century." (unverified)

"The couple were named the most outstanding Latin American couple for 1995, and won the Carl Alan award for services to the dance world." (unverified)

Karen shows more personality, humour and awareness of the audience than any other ballroom dancer."(NPoV)

"Karen has a unique combination of competitive dancing and performance, which makes her the most watchable Latin dancer in living memory."(NPoV)

I am sure Karen's career and capabilities do not need to be boosted by this kind of hyperbole. Does someone have some better, citeable and neutral sources which could replace the body copy here? Wellsprungalice 08:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I've added some tags to the article, and toned down some of the language and claims, but you're right it could do with some good content instead of a lot of what's here. Andy Farrell 20:47, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Everything that now remains in the article is verifiable, and expressed in less gushing terms. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
