@Coffeeandcrumbs: @Figureskatingfan: The article is terrific; however, DYK requires that filmographies, published works, and discographies be sourced. — Maile (talk) 20:44, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

I was able to source the filmography, but the source I got the published works and discography is on WP's blacklist. If that's a deal-breaker, I understand. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:28, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Unfortunately, Imdb is not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia. @Coffeeandcrumbs: are you able to help out on this? — Maile (talk) 22:40, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
I am working on this. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 05:30, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
@Maile66:,  Done. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 15:35, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
