# Talk:Leon S. Kennedy

Im currently doing research right now specifically on Leon's impact on the RE community so as to add a new section to our boys article as I feel its an important part of him that should be known. I do have a question when it comes to sources though because I can find sources from game journalist, social media, and some developer stuff but it is admittably hard to find "academic" sources. So my question is what kind of sources would be acceptable for this kind of topic? I found one notable source from a Japanese magazine that has Leon listed as the top character that could be good support but other than that its hard. Thanks for any help!

Please see WP:VG/RS. There might be some notable scholar as a source that talks about this character. If Leon indeed appears in RE9, I will incorporate all the sources that I brought up above. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 09:55, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
Regarding my recent addition I got the criticism regarding my contribution. Some of what I found was new information and I would still like to find a way to contribute it in the article. Salvage some of the work I had done. What do you think regarding finding a place for it even if its not necessarily a different section. Also I apologize it was redundant I meant to address the popularity particularly didn't mean for it to come off as repetitive I'm still a new editor. Haunting~Mel (talk) 00:52, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Don't worry about that.  If you choose to include additional content, be sure to include a citation at the conclusion of the sentence.  I ended up eliminating it completely because adding it without citing it makes it appear like original research.  Since you're still relatively new, you can ask Wikipedia:Teahouse any more questions you may have because I'm not fluent enough to explain things to you. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 01:28, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
The second source, Retro Gamer, is good, although it only mentioned Leon as an iconic character. The article already cites a number of sources. Game Rant is a low-quality source. In the meantime, the third source, a journal in which you state that "His character has often been praised by fans as being heroic and brave with his VA from Resident Evil 4 quoting that the character has "touched the lives of many," is not a good content that is worth adding. After additional research, I don't think there are any more trustworthy sources out there that haven't been incorporated at the article yet aside from the rumour that he is playable in Re9. I understand that this article is one of your project, but this article has been in good shape already and is marked as "good article". I will suggest you to work at the Diogenes heteropsammicola or other articles that you are assigned instead. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 01:47, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
