Talk:List of comic-based television episodes directed by women

Notability
Notability for creating such a list was based on an arbitrary listing compiled on IMDb. Movies and Television Episodes Based on Comics Directed by Women on IMDb Can you find some other news articles that discuss such a list? I don't want this to be runaway listcruft.

I found these news articles that discuss such a list: 1) https://decider.com/2016/12/15/best-of-2016-movies-and-tv-directed-by-women/ 2) https://www.indiewire.com/2017/03/best-tv-shows-created-by-women-1201791086/ 3) https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-ca-st-female-directors-main-story-20180309-htmlstory.html Cardei012597 (talk) 06:16, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

I hope these would suffice, but I could also provide others: 4) https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3370230/13-terrific-television-episodes-directed-by-women/ 5) https://variety.com/2016/tv/features/jessica-jones-women-directors-season-two-melissa-rosenberg-1201897203/ 6) https://www.bustle.com/p/31-great-tv-episodes-directed-by-women-from-tense-er-nights-to-golden-girls-antics-15936493 7) https://psmag.com/social-justice/the-number-of-tv-episodes-directed-by-women-and-minorities-has-hit-an-all-time-high Cardei012597 (talk) 06:19, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

From all of these news articles, they describe different female directed episodes based on comics, including Jessica Jones. I hope this matter is resolved. Cardei012597 (talk) 06:22, 26 June 2019 (UTC)


 * , yes, that's a lot better than the IMDb list. I'll try to integrate those into the main list. Please note the articles need to be for comic books based episodes not women directors in general. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:06, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

I'm scrubbing through the 7 references. So far 1) Decider has no episodes that are connected to comic books. 2) Indiewire only has references to Jessica Jones in general as the developer Melissa Rosenberg, but NOT specific episodes. 3) LA Times article behind a paywall. 4) Bloody Disgusting - None of the episodes here refer to comic books base. 5) Variety - says all women directors were hired for Jessica Jones season 2, not specifying which episodes they directed.  6)  Bustle 30 - Only general television episodes, but NO COMIC BOOK BASED, 7)  No mention of comic books.  So your articles only support a list of women directed television episodes in general,not comic book based ones.  AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:32, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Ok, I found other citations: 1) https://deadline.com/2018/06/marvels-jessica-jones-krysten-ritter-direct-episode-season-3-1202418314/ 2) https://deadline.com/2018/04/fx-orders-y-pilot-based-y-the-last-man-comic-book-series-michael-green-aida-mashaka-croal-1202359240/ 3) https://deadline.com/2018/01/watchmen-nicole-kassell-to-direct-hbo-pilot-damon-lindelof-1202274631/ 4) https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/watchmen-hbo-series-nicole-kassell-director-1202682035/ Cardei012597 (talk) 19:53, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

 * , those support the individual episodes, but none of them attempt to amass a list of women directors of comic book based episodes. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 20:16, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Ok, then maybe with this citation: https://variety.com/2016/tv/features/jessica-jones-women-directors-season-two-melissa-rosenberg-1201897203/ along with citations that specify the individual episodes directed by women: https://deadline.com/2018/06/marvels-jessica-jones-krysten-ritter-direct-episode-season-3-1202418314/ and other citations that specify which episode were directed by a woman? Does that sound like a decent plan? Cardei012597 (talk) 20:45, 26 June 2019 (UTC)


 * , that's great that you're diligent with referencing individual entries on the list. I just want to make sure the overall list is notable. So far only the Jessica Jones series discusses women directors, but if there's something that generalizes how there are but a handful of women directors in comics-based television shows or that there need to be more women directors in comics-based television shows, then those can be cited. They have ones where the comics-based show features a prominent female lead  but need ones that focus on women directors.  Maybe this one: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-ca-st-female-directors-main-story-20180309-htmlstory.html.  Here's the equivalent one for films and should be used to validate the film list. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/may/11/goddesses-of-the-galaxy-women-directors-take-over-the-blockbuster-universe (already there as external link)  AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 18:23, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

That sounds good, the original purpose of this page was to be a split page or a sister page for comic based films. The la times citation is a good choice. Cardei012597 (talk) 18:30, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
