Most of Linehan's written output has been TV/film/stage scripts. As a writer, he is primarily a dramatist. But such work have no heading under his works in the article. Anybody? Martin Rundkvist (talk) 08:28, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
A blog at Medium by a self-described "LGBTQ+ Rights Activist and Anti-Racist Feminist" is not a WP:RS. It is her singular opinion, nothing more. KalHolmann (talk) 17:52, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Honestly? No. This isn't an issue that has been reported on, so of course: I cannot find a third-party published reliable source reporting that Graham Linehan is a transphobe. I can only show you him calling gender reassignment surgery 'mutilation' which I confidently believe to be transphobia whichever way you cut it. With respect this really seems like you are jumping through hoops to avoid discussing something which is very present in Graham Linehan's daily dialogue, and relevant to the discussion. I'd have liked to help so that this relevant feature about Graham Linehan could be included on his wiki page - but appreciate you're unwilling to let that happen.

I hope we can find a way to write about this. It feels relevant to me, in that I see LGBTQ+ writers and activists posting examples of his transphobia constantly on Twitter. It's well-known and well-documented, but because there's not a lot of visibility for the community in traditional press, and there's a generalized disdain for social media, it doesn't fit neatly into WP:RS (from what I can tell). But people do know what they're talking about - and multiple verified users have pointed to Linehan's transphobia (search "linehan transphobia" and you'll see blue checkmarks as you scroll). A lot of marginalized communities organize and publicize primarily on social media for understandable reasons, and I'm not really happy with removing what is a big part of his online and social presence (he argues with trans activists all the time, and has an outsized impact on the UK trans community in particular) from the article. If we can't reference his (well-documented, clear) transphobia in any way that's considered reliable, would it be acceptable to make a simple statement of fact that he considers "TERF" to be a slur (search "terf from:glinner" on Twitter, for example) and actively defends a trans-exclusive definition of womanhood? That would convey important information about his transphobia to readers well-versed enough to pick up on it, though it's not as clear and direct as I would prefer.

has a recent Twitter thread documenting Linehan's transphobia. I can't link out to Twitter from here but you can find it on her timeline with the first posted dated June 13th. KingHanksley (talk) 13:44, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Please don't delete things from the talk page discussing why facts backed by sources keep getting removed from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.20.60 (talk) 13:58, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Please see your talk page. Poorly sourced potentially libelous material will be removed from the article and/or the talk page per WP:BLP. Toddst1 (talk) 14:02, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
