Talk:Nickelodeon and LGBT representation

Notability assessment
Please refer to 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)
 * 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.

Other reference ideas
They didn't fit in the box earlier on this page:
 * The Gay Agenda: Being Accepted in Children’s Media (small mention of Korra on page 20)
 * Qualification of Gender: Gender Counter Stereotypes across Disney and Nickelodeon Networks Using Content Analysis
 * The Occurrences, References and Projected Attitudes About LGBT Lifestyles in Children's Media:Attitudes About LGBT Lifestyles in Children's Media: A Content Analysis of Animated Films (see page 12)
 * Queer Media Images: LGBT Perspectives (see pages 8-9, 172)
 * "What's Going On With You Two"?: Queerness, Fandom, and Adaptation in the Legend of Korra Franchise
 * LGBTQ+ Representation in Young Children’s Television: A Qualitative Research Study (may need to get through Wikipedia library)
 * Part of This World--A Personal Exploration of Media and Queer Identity (page 10 says "Currently, in the United States, children’s media is dominated by two major networks: Disney and Nickelodeon")
 * How Love Ought to Be: The Power of Sapphic Representation in Animated Children’s Cartoons (see pages 11-22, i.e. the chapter about Legend of Korra)
 * Representations of LGBQ+ families in young children’s media (mention of Nick's The Loud House briefly)
 * The world has always been like a comic book world to me”: Examining representations of queer stories in comics and other media (see pages 23-25, 29, 43-44, 59, primarily about Korra)
 * Social Impact of LGBTQ+ Representation in Television on Children (see page 10, says "Many networks focused primarily on children’s programming, such as Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network, as well as online streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, have introduced new shows and characters that provide positive representation of queer people in a subtle way, teaching young children that the characters they admire on television are just like the people around them, deserving of validation and acceptance")

There are undoubtedly more but hopefully this helps a little more. Historyday01 (talk) 03:44, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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:
 * Diana Burgos, The Queer Glow up of Hero-Sword Legacies in She-Ra, Korra, and Sailor Moon, Open Cultural Studies, December 9, 2021
 * 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)
