International Lover

 * ... that "International Lover" was the song for which Prince received his first Grammy Award nomination?

 * If this nomination is successful, it is targetted for the June 7 Prince Birthday section of the discussion page.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:02, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Date, length, neutrality and originality are fine. The hook is great (and is a fine choice for the date mentioned) but are you able to find a better source for the fact than gossipcop.com? I also see that a large part of the first paragraph is cited to princevault.com, a wiki, which in turn is sourced to a book. I would suggest that you either cite the book directly or find another source since citing other wikis is pretty iffy. 97198 (talk) 16:23, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I imagine that people from WP:SONG might be able to find a better source. Also, there are almost surely print listings of the nominees in 1984 publications. Maybe 1984 Rolling Stone or Billboard. However, from what I can tell, that is a WP:RS, although it is not as solid a source as you might want.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Further consideration on this soon would be helpful.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:52, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm personally not prepared to give this a tick for the reasons above but if another reviewer gives a second opinion and is happy to pass it, that's fine with me. 97198 (talk) 15:12, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I found this source, would it be better if it was swapped for gossipcop? Montanabw (talk) 09:13, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * , on what grounds is that source a WP:RS.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:56, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No clue, but 97198 was complaining about gossipcop, so figured that overkill wouldn't hurt. ;-) Montanabw (talk) 05:09, 30 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'm not that concerned about gossipcop versus awardsandshows, the hook is sourced, and multiple locations verify it, so I'm passing this.  Be nice to put in a more unimpeachable source before it hits the main page, though.   Montanabw (talk) 05:55, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
