Change vote to Neutral, default keep, as I just don't see any sources that can be used to expand the article. It's possible there are historical sources, not online, that could be used. --Dhartung | Talk09:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. There's no information here beyond what can be found in the Internet Movie Database, but Nelson was once nominated for an Oscar [2] which would place her above the run of the mill for costume designers, and also did costumes for some other prominent films (Miracle on 34th Street, Gentleman's Agreement). She may qualify under WP:BIO among "other professionals whose work is widely recognized (for better or worse) and who are likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field". --Metropolitan9004:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
She appears in a couple en passant mentions in Google Books. One of them is Costume Design in the Movies: An Illustrated Guide to the Work of 157 Great Designers[3]. She is not one of the 157; she did work with three of the 157 (mostly Charles LeMaire), but notability is not transferable. --Dhartung | Talk06:02, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Being nominated for an award that has a limited number of nominations, and which is shown on national broadcast TV in prime time, is notable.--Prosfilaes14:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per the Oscar nomination and the work on an extremely notable film (Miracle on 34th St.). Costume designers are rarely notable, but I think this one might just barely squeak by. A reference in a book (even if she wasn't one of the subjects) adds some verifiability. Xtifrtälk20:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
