MA thesis[edit]

The MA thesis cited is fine. I have removed the "better source needed" tag. As you can see here (and perhaps here), Professor Sophie Page refers to the thesis as an "excellent unpublished dissertation". The guideline, which explicitly states that it may have occasional exceptions, says that Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence. I'm not sure how much influence an MA thesis from 2016 on a very niche topic can be expected to have by 2023. As so often, the guideline does not seem designed for a case like this. The thesis is being cited for basic facts, not controversial opinions. Srnec (talk) 00:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
