 * Thanks for the review, SoWhy. I believe most of the information sourced to the interview falls under WP:SOCIALMEDIA. I did change the source for his ghostwriting three bestsellers, since it's an exceptional claim, and I found other sources for the information previously sourced to the By Common Consent article. I removed the references to his wife's interview based on WP:INTERVIEW and WP:BLPSPS, since the interview wasn't with him. The fourth book reference was simply for the fact that the book was published, so I replaced it with a reference to the book itself.Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:31, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the changes. The part of the policy you mentioned says that an article should not "based primarily on such sources", which is what I meant. It looks okay now, so Symbol confirmed.svg for ALT1 and Symbol voting keep.svg for ALT2. I don't see ALT0 as interesting enough really. Also, while not strictly necessary, place and date of birth and an infobox might be nice to have if you could add them. PS: When copying my signature, the ping didn't work, hence the delayed response. Next time, try the plain name (e.g. or ). Regards SoWhy 17:13, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting back to me, even though my ping didn't work, ! Unfortunately I couldn't find a birthday; only a birthyear from worldcat, which I don't know if it is an acceptable source but have always I've assumed it falls under public records.Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:22, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It worked now. As for WorldCat, I'm actually not sure. You might want to ask at WP:RSN about that. Regards SoWhy 17:30, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but first did some editing and wikifying of the article. The chronology in the Writing career and Mormon arts sections is not in order. Could you put things in chronological order, and also list the date of his adaptation of Dubliners (for what? opera?). Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:22, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, I was able to track down the dates and titles of more of Nelson's compositions, which I added to the page. I think I put things in a more chronological order; Nelson's work as an art juror is still after the publishing of the collection of Mormon art, which was before and after the juror thing. I think it makes more sense to keep them separate. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:42, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you, that looks much better! No close paraphrasing seen with new sources. Restoring tick per SoWhy's review. Yoninah (talk) 22:41, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
