You know, I am going to grant you this. From the beginning, I recognized that there are 'Mormon Intellectuals' in the Arts and Letters department. Now I am going to acknowledge proselytizing as a unique form of arts and letters. These people you list are poets who write the stuff that inspires faith. In the spirit of Johnathan Edwards, these people too are 'intellectuals.'
I guess my hangup had to do with Archaea's original question. It seemed like he was talking about a different kind of intellectual project other than 'inspiring faith.'
If you are talking about 'intellectualism' of a different sort (something other than poetry) then please define it.
