Confirmation and the use of secondary sources

I'm posting this to head off any criticism of this article that secondary sources are used to prove the LGBTQ identities of the characters listed on this page. This is similar to what I posted on the List of animated series with LGBTQ characters talk page, but I am posting it here as well. According to WP:YTCOPYRIGHT, specifically the original research section,

All material in Wikipedia articles must be attributable to a reliable published source. This means a reliable published source must exist for it, whether or not it is cited in the article. Sources must support the material clearly and directly: drawing inferences from multiple sources to advance a novel position is prohibited by the NOR policy. Base articles largely on reliable secondary sources. While primary sources are appropriate in some cases, relying on them can be problematic. For more information, see the Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources section of the NOR policy, and the Misuse of primary sources section of the BLP policy.

Furthermore, on WP:NOR, it says:

Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and to avoid novel interpretations of primary sources. All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary or tertiary source, and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.

As such, citing sources like Comic Book Resources, IGN, The Mary Sue, Anime News Network, Just Add Color (a magazine), T.H.E.M. Anime Reviews, Digital Spy, BBC News, BuzzFeed, Crunchyroll, Pride Magazine, Autostraddle, Den of Geek, the various GLAAD reports, and many others cited on the main page, are totally acceptable. When it comes to anime, official sites often are limited in the characters they talk about (usually only the protagonists, not the secondary characters for the most part) or give the characters biographies by putting text within images, making translation of the text impossible unless you are fluent in Japanese. This also means that primary sources are NOT necessarily needed to show the LGBTQ identity of any of the characters listed on this page. Such sources are nice, like in the case of Spongebob, South Park, and El-Hazard, but they are not always available, especially if the show is an anime or is relatively obscure, and are also not necessary!

I just thought I'd point this out before some editor comes along and tries to remove content here. Historyday01 (talk) 13:56, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lesbian couples in Courage the Cowardly Dog

Courage the Cowardly Dog has lesbian couples in the episode "The Mask" named Kitty and Bunny. Could someone add those in? I've tried.

The only reason they aren't on the page is because, to my knowledge, they only show up in one episode. Hence, they are on the List of lesbian characters in animation page but not here. It was a compromise made a while back after some people nominated one of these list pages for deletion and/or challenged entries from what I remember...
