I have not been able to find any evidence that McGuinness performed in any production other than The King and I. The article originally said that she performed other roles (though this has been removed). Can someone find any reviews of her performances or other theatre programs listing her? Thanks for any help. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 22:21, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Good. Please read these important guidelines, which will help you to understand our process: WP:COI, WP:LEAD. If you can find published sources that contain the information that you wish to add, that will be very, very helpful. All the best! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 22:58, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
If you continue to proceed in this manner, you are going to be blocked from editing. This is not a good way to begin on Wikipedia. Please read WP:COI, and you will understand why you are not permitted to revert without first reaching a WP:Consensus on this page. Not only are you trying to delete the information from the Lead about The King and I, which is the only information that we have about McGuinness's career for the decade from 1996 to 2007, but you removed most of the other information from the lead about her albums and other matters. As I have tried to explain, the Lead section must contain a brief overview of the whole article. Also, you have tried to create a new section in the article that does not make any sense, because it contains redundant information that is irrelevant to the heading and also contains a reference that does not support the information being given. So, again I am asking you to slow down and discuss with us each change that you wish to make, one at a time, and build a consensus before making any changes. Thanks. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 04:33, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Also, if we're all in agreement that the misunderstanding has been resolved I would like to propose editing this talk page to remove focus on our discussion of this clear misunderstanding on my part. If you want to continue it, we can move the discussion to my talk page. I recognize that discussion about the subject's accomplishments and working towards citations that will improve the article are much better than edit warring and misunderstandings born out of a need to review the Wikipedia standards.

In her recording career, a citation is requested for the following: In 2012, McGuinness dropped her surname, opting to begin writing and performing electronic dance music simply as Malea.[citation needed] -- I'm trying to determine which part of this needs citation specifically. Malea's professional releases since 2011 make no mention of her last name McGuinness. Is it possible that a new article should be created highlighting this section of her professional life? People only refer to her professionally as Malea at this point and this is supported by numerous sources on the web. Thoughts? Loudersoft ( talk) 00:20, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
This article suffered from unreliable sources and excessive irrelevant detail. I've returned it to stub status with reliable notable sources for each statement so we can move on from there. Manc1234 ( talk) 22:51, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
