RE: Ngaiire

edit

I don't have a specific interest in her, I just don't like to read promotional-sounding content on Wikipedia, which is supposed to remain neutral and not promote anyone or any material, no matter who it was written by and how much those who wrote it love or favour the person or material they're writing about. The problems are writing sentences like "Ngaiire's music transcends boundaries". We can't say this on Wikipedia. We have to attribute these quotes. Also, the relevance of saying a magazine with questionable notability called her "one of the greatest living people" seems irrelevant, especially in the opening paragraph and taking two or three sources who acclaimed her live performances and then writing that she is considered "one of the best performers" is overly promotional and violates WP:SYNTH. It's wording like this all through the article. Ss112 22:51, 15 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
