Semi-protected edit request on 24 July 2022

I would like to include Steven Universe soundtracks in the Soundtracks section. 223.178.80.173 (talk) 07:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Article Neutrality and "Good Article" status

I do not believe that this article meets the standards necessary to be considered a neutrally-written article, nor one that can, without doubt, maintain the "good article" status as a result.

The main issue is the lack of substantial criticism towards the show. The article's sources are consistently those that show praise for the show or focus on objective elements within it, leaving out relevant viewpoints. As it stands, the article's only mentions of criticism are points about the release schedule.

Wikipedia requires "all majority and significant minority views". As is, I do not believe this requirement is met.

I have included articles to express at least one area of additional criticism.

:I would say the article DOES meet the Good article status and IS neutral. I'd add that the "Reception" section is pretty robust at this point (its a LOT more robust than many other similar animated shows). At the same time, I'd be ok with all three of those sources being added to this article, as they appear to be reliable sources. In terms of the "lack of substantial criticism towards the show". Some criticism is on places like Tumblr and other sources falling under WP:SPS (like blogs on Medium, or are just YouTubers, so it couldn't be added to the page. Still, I do think a pretty wide swath of reviews are added, at present. I'd be fine with adding articles like [https://www.californialawreview.org/online/heroizing-restorative-justice-steven-universe this one], about the show's focus on restorative justice as opposed to other shows.

:An update. The second paragraph of the "Influence and legacy" section mentions the California Law Review article I mentioned. The suggested reviews section (including the Queer Utopia article you mentioned) includes SEVEN articles which should be added and if I have some time this year, I'll try to add them in.
