Not notable as an actor or painter. A simple Google search comes up with many trivial sources, but I have been unable to find even one reliable secondary source that does more than mention her name in the context of discussing something else. She has, it appeared, appeared in a number of TV shows. There are no sources that would indicate that as an actor she meets the notability criteria of WP:ENTERTAINER - her acting roles do not appear to be significant, she does not appear to have a "cult following" and there is nothing to suggest that she has made a "unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment". As a painter, which is actually the main focus of the article, is no evidence that she is notable enough under the guidelines of WP:CREATIVE. It does not appear that her work has won awards, been widely written about or "is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums".

 * Retain I've known and followed Kristin Nelson's career since the 1960s and am quite surprised to find any discussion about this. She may not be particularly notable for her current life, but my recollection is that an awful lot of people knew who she was in the 1960s and 1970s.  Her family connections are not enough by themselves, but add supporting weight.  Monkeyzpop (talk) 08:09, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I had never heard of her, but when I first started looking online, my first impression was that there should be enouugh to meet the notability requirements.  but, despite an extensive serach, i really couldn't find any valid sources...

 * Try Google News Archive and Google Books. Some material is behind pay walls etc, but I didn't have any problem finding sources to add to the article (and there are more as yet unused).  Ty  16:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. In addition to what the nom has written, subject fails the most basic general notability guidelines.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 16:49, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see how that can be the case. There are numerous mentions in Google News Archive and Google Books.  Ty  16:11, 24 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. Monkeyzpop added some references to the article.  I have linked these to URLs, where I could find such links.  In my opinion, they don't provide the weight of evidence needed to establish notability - the name of the unlinked newspaper article might be helpful.

 * Look again, per my post above.  Ty  16:13, 24 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep A notable person who interacted with notable people throughout her life. Sourced, referenced, I don't see a problem...Modernist (talk) 13:45, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep There are numerous sources testifying to notability far in excess of WP:N requirements.  Ty  16:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
