This is not terrible by any stretch, especially when compared to some of the stuff that gets added to to umpire/referee articles, but the single sentence saying that a player disputed a call she made seems little undue. We have an umpire with over 20 years of top level officiating so to mention a single incident in this career (even briefly) seems to violate WP:BALASP. This also lacks some context and any indication that the incident had any lasting effect on her career. AIRcorn (talk) 18:09, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the associated 2015 Wimbledon Championships article and could not find a mention of the incident there. This seems like a better place to put this inforamtion as it can be expanded on without as much fear of becoming WP:undue. AIRcorn (talk)

Fine by me if others agree. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:49, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302 and Aircorn: I have just reviewed that article at DYK. I think that Aircorn make a good point and that the sentence should be removed. – Ianblair23 (talk) 12:44, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:56, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
