Draft notes
[edit]Hi - I have some draft notes:
- This lacks in-line sourcing. Sourcing must be in-line in order to show what is backing up which claim.
- This is an extremely specific topic area, so much so that I am concerned that it is too specific for an article. The more specific a topic area is, the harder it is to find coverage that specifically covers this topic area. Keep in mind that we can only summarize what others have explicitly stated about this topic area, so if a source doesn't specifically cover queer Latinas in speculative fiction, it can't be used to back up the claims. To be honest, this is something that would be a subsection in a main article about Latin-American speculative fiction or LGBT representation in speculative fiction.
- Also keep in mind that an article should cover this topic area in general, not only in reference to a couple of very specific works.
- The sourcing seems to be very specific in that most of it covers LGBT people or queer people in very specific works, not the topic in specific. Part of the issue with articles is that aside from backing up claims, an article needs to have enough sourcing to establish how this specific topic area is notable enough to have its own article as opposed to being a subsection in an existing article. This is such a specific topic area that there is unlikely to be enough coverage to justify its own article - also, given that there is no article on Latin-American speculative fiction, I would argue that it would be best to create a general article that covers LGBT representation (as a whole, rather than specifically only queer Latinas) in the works.
I hope that this all helps. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:54, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
