Notability assessment

[edit]

Please refer to Wikipedia:Source assessment/Nickelodeon and LGBT representation for assessment of GNG sources for this article.

In hindsight, I probably should've produced that table before I submitted this draft. Only reviewers would know if that would've affected the outcome. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 23:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I talked about some of this draft's sources at WP:RSN and received a couple of responses I think are worth noting here:
  • Caeciliusinhorto-public: I am struggling to see any source [...] in the current draft which discusses LGBT representation on Nickelodeon. There are sources which discuss specific instances of LGBT representation on Nickelodeon, and at least one source about LGBT representation on television generally, but nothing about LGBT representation on Nickelodeon.
  • Aquillion: Some of them would probably require attribution (either for WP:BIASED reasons or WP:RSOPINION reasons) and others wouldn't, but glancing over them there's probably enough there to write an article, and certainly enough to satisfy the WP:GNG. While this is probably enough, I would suggest searching for some academic sources as well; a quick glance on Google Scholar suggests that there's some papers that at least discuss this topic (not surprising given that Nickelodeon is very prominent and shifts in LGBT representation have a lot of academic discussion.) While, again, they're not strictly necessary, having them there from the start could help inform the article's structure in a useful way, and I suspect they'd be useful in terms of forming a complete timeline.

They didn't fit in the box earlier on this page:

There are undoubtedly more but hopefully this helps a little more. Historyday01 (talk) 03:44, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the spirit of WP:NOTCENSORED, let's not forget about the magazine article titled "Queerness Shines in "She-Ra" and Other Animated Shows". – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 12:23, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I only added the above because I found them through Google Scholar, per the above comment by Aquillion, and that article is not an academic article (not saying it is bad, though). There may be others in the comments I left oh the LGBT project (only 21 can be added to refideas), I wouldn't doubt that. I did also come across this source this morning:
This page is actually giving me ideas for how to improve a page I'm developing and have been for a while. Historyday01 (talk) 13:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
