Deletion of Whitney Award?[edit]

I question DreamGuy's recent deletion of the sentence describing Blair's winning of a Whitney Award. DreamGuy's justification was "no notability established, no sources, award claim to try to make her sound notable is nonsense, as not a major award and she's on the award committee". While it's true that there are no sources cited on this page, I think that DreamGuy's edit would also appear to violate WP:NOR. It is a fact that Blair won the award. DreamGuy's questioning of whether or not her win is legitimate constitutes original research/thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CagedFury (talk • contribs) 19:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the article, and found a news article explaining why Kerry Blair won despite being on the committee.CagedFury (talk) 20:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
