I've removed the following line that wraps up the discussion of her Las Vegas show: "She was then replaced by Dorothy Hamill and the show was discontinued soon after.". My reasoning is that this fact has nothing to do with Susan Anton. I suspect that the point of this passage was to show that the show couldn't make it without Anton, whereas there are multiple third factors that may have been involved -- most notably, the fact that the show had worn out its welcome after at least 5,000 performances by Anton. Whatever the true rationale for including this factoid, it is about the show and/or Hamill and has nothing to do with Anton.Oldsmobile (talk) 06:07, 4 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
First, I've added a section header to your comment to aid in organization and to keep it separated from the project banners above.
Second, I don't draw the same conclusion that you have regarding the suggestion that the show ended because Anton left. I see it as neutral and I think it helps flesh out the overall history. I see it as akin to when we (often) will say "such and such was one of two people/companies/countries/etc to do some amazing thing" and then we never explain who/what the other one was! It leaves the reader wondering. I feel that the sentence should be put back in to better round out the overall history but I'm not gung-ho about it and won't be bold about it right now.
