@User:CrypticalFiery, @User:Loyalmoonie, or anyone else, I looked into the size of this page and according to xtools, this page has 24,152 characters, or 4017 words, far below the 40,000 chars, which falls into the "Length alone does not justify division" as noted on Wikipedia:Article size. Other than that, suggestions are welcome! I'd like this page to be longer, but when it gets to LGBTQ characters in the 1990s, sources are often few and far between, sadly.

Last year, the Insider article 259 LGBTQ characters in cartoons that bust the myth that kids can't handle inclusion^[1] was declared an unusable article by Wikipedia because it was more of a database and some users disagreed with the article. Some of the characters that the article mentioned were removed from certain pages as a result such as List of animated series with LGBT characters: 1995–1999 and List of animated series with LGBT characters: 2015–2019. IronGargoyle thought the other articles were okay to keep, but none of the articles directly mention Oscar and Wilde. What do you think? Should George and Martha be removed from this article? 162.40.51.236 (talk) 15:19, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think we could leave them in the article, but remove the source. I personally think the database is a bit shaky as a source because the database doesn't cite any sources, but the stories (listed here) are generally better sources, and I don't think George and Martha are mentioned there.

I believe that Ruby and Sapphire kissing in the TV series "Steven Universe" may be the first example of explicit queer representation in children's animation. Timdocster (talk) 00:35, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
