Too negative

Martins has received a lot of negative press and accusations but with no actual charges that I'm aware of. I think this article is overly negative, even gossipy as it stands and could benefit from adding some professional accomplishments, his connection with George Balanchine, etc...to balance the tone. And some early ballet pictures. Lmlmss44 (talk) 05:05, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I see that this article is still a hit piece. No neutrality whatsoever. I'll work on it at first by removing the sentences about his kids legal problems which don't belong in an article about him. Interested readers can google their names if they are interested in their lives. Lmlmss44 (talk) 15:39, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

   Here here! The #MeToo movement has become a cause to turn every Wikipedia entry into a trial. The man was subject to a formal procedure at the Ballet and was found not guilty. The paragraph in the introduction detailing the accusation, which is as large as the paragraph detailing his accomplishments, should be removed. Actually, I will do this now. 146.196.38.137 (talk) 07:08, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
