[edit] NPOV

I am thinking of putting a {{NPOV}} tag on the article. There are too many violations. Also a lot of references are needed:

• She is best known for.." (lead) - If it is said without a reference, it shows as someone editors opinion. While it might be a polular notion, it is best avoided under WP:AWW.
• Early life section: Make sure facts are properly referenced. If needed, repeat the ref. (I couldn't verify, the ref failed to open on my comp).
• For Cheryl, dancing is a way of life. It provides a medium for her to express her inner feelings and passion all the while maintaining focus and composure during extremely high-pressure situations. It is dancing that has made her such a competitor (both on and off the floor) and made her strive for perfection in anything that she sets out to do (Dancing) - This reads like an NPOV unencyclopediac commentary. Best removed or reworded - keeping the fact "She is very passionate about dancing".
• Cheryl says that her dancing style is unlike anyone else's. She takes pride in being a "rule breaker" and feels that her greatest achievements in dancing are still to come (Dancing) - needs a ref.
• Burke made Dancing with the Stars franchise history by becoming the first professional dancer to win two championships... (Dancing with the stars) - needs ref.
• Needs ref for other two sections as well.

I am refraining from slapping any tags for now. Wish you the best with the article. --soum^talk 08:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree there are a substantial number of WP:NPOV problems throughout the article - it looks far too much like a fan site at this point, or even, considering her professional career, like a violation of WP:ADVERT Gonna slap some tags on here, and hope someone can do some cleanup. -- Bradfordschultze 01:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
