This article considers Nelson's date of birth April 29th, 1933. Reliable sources indicatine both, the 29th and the 30th. The source used for this article is the book by Joe Nick Patoski, Willie Nelson: An Epic Life. An excerpt of page 13 reads: "(Nelson) came two years later a few minutes before midnight, during the last hour of April 29, 1933. Doc Simms, who delivered both Nelson children at his home, recorded the boy's birth on the first hour of April 30." The subject of the article also states that he was born on April 29th. Despite that his birth was recorded by the doctor on the 30th, and that it is the official date that the state of Texas recognizes, Nelson was born on the last minutes of April 29, 1933. Therefore, the date used is the 29th. |

Country HOF definitely. Why Rock and Roll? If he was so influential in that why does the lead not mention influence on rock at all? 70.161.8.90 (talk) 22:57, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
Why is there no mention of his first child Renee Butts? Willie has acknowledged her and her grandchildren as his "great grandchildren" She was born in 1953 and died in 2017. Heres one link:

I don't understand why this article has a long, redundant bio before the bio sections even start—nor why it keeps saying "Nelson", "Nelson" over and over (rather than using the pronoun "he") when it's clear who's being discussed. Overenthusiasm? It seems amateurish. "Less is more." ~ 2604:3D08:4486:600:20E9:D3F:2D0F:5B4D (talk) 21:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
