Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

New series impact on article
Now that this character appears in two series, some of the text in this article needs to be updated regarding the assumption that any statement applies to Cooper's appearance in TBBT. For example, saying "In the TV show..." or "In the series ..." is now problematic if earlier in the same paragraph TBBT was not mentioned. Even the INFOBOX might be problematic as two actors (will) have played the role. RobP (talk) 12:01, 11 August 2017 (UTC)k[reply]
If the differences between the two become significant, there is no reason we can't create another article for the young version. --AussieLegend (✉) 12:13, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
About Cooper, NOT Parsons...
"On July 16, 2009, Jim Parsons was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.[83] He was nominated again...."
Again and again.... And again and again.... What does any of that have to do with Sheldon Cooper? Should we put Jim Parsons in charge of NASA then? President perhaps? ...Merge the two articles; Cooper & Parsons? CHEESH! --2602:306:CFCE:1EE0:4432:55D:B636:8FF0 (talk) 01:39, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Doug Bashford[reply]
He won them because of his portrayal of Sheldon so it does have something to do with the article. It looks like it is mentioned a lot because Parsons has won four times.--5 albert square (talk) 02:54, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Has something to do with the article?...yes, so does Hollywood and a zillion other things. You seem to miss the point. Do you understand that the storyline where Leonard Nemoy had to get a restraining order against Sheldon for confusing the actor with his character was just one of many points illustrating that Sheldon has handicapping mental and personality disorders?
(Frankly, I don't think much of Hollywood for so mercilessly ridiculing the handicapped and his disabilities. They seem to think it's OK because the poor guy is "a genius." Ha ha. Would it be OK to ridicule (make fun of) of a blind person's handicap if he was smart? What if he was wealthy, would it be OK then? Who ridiculed Stephen Hawking's handicaps? Nor am I happy about the Hollywood habit of portraying the gifted as dysfunctional (and as a despicable person in this case).)
But my point is not that Jim Parsons is mentioned, but that that section; "Reception and legacy" is mostly about him, of 500 words only 61 words go to Cooper. (There is a reason the asteroid 246247 Sheldoncooper was named after Sheldon, NOT Parsons, ...etc.) Again, the article is about the fictional character Cooper, NOT Jim Parsons, and NOT about the actual show. So why does the article mention Parsons 27 times? 27!? Just because Sheldon is often helplessly biased and irrational, does not mean Wikipedians should be.
