Chapin was never nominated for an Emmy or Tony award. An awards section is for awards directly received (or nominated) by the subject of the article. Make a Wish nomination was to Tom Bywaters and Lester Cooper. WMAF awards were to the actors and actresses involved. Harry was never nominated for an "actress award". There is no Wiki article on the Rockola awards, and the sourcing for such is an advert site, and as such is not a reliable source. Only include content for which he himself was nominated, can be verified, and is notable for inclusion in a list.-- ☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:31, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
https://www.ascapfoundation.org/news/2017/04/harry-chapin-workshop From article: "He also won an Emmy award for this contribution to ABC’s television’s children series, Make a Wish, and his Broadway show The Night That Made America Famous earned two Tony Nominations." ASCAP would know. 75.161.16.253 ( talk) 02:45, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
I have no problem with describing Chapin as a great artist or as deeply empathetic, but the level of unsourced exaggeration in this article makes it sound like it was written by a publicist. Fielding99 ( talk) 04:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
"Chapin met Sandra Chapin, a New York socialite eight years his senior," Wouldn't it make more sense to refer to her by her name as it was at the time? I'm not sure if it would have been her maiden name ("Gaston") or if it would have been her first husband's last name ("Cashmore"), though. -- User:Khajidha ( talk) ( contributions) 15:00, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
The article asserts, without evidence, that Wallace had a "five-octave" vocal range. Like most such assertions, I suspect this is exaggerated. If there's evidence that Wallace actually did have such a tremendous range (which would range from the bass to whistle-tone soprano ranges), it should be cited. Otherwise, a less-specific description (such as "who had a very wide vocal range") would be more apt. Spanghew2fs ( talk) 22:51, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
