... that fans of Johnlock used "the set designer's fondness for elephants" to make the case that their preferred pairing would be written into the show?

Source: "....analyses that identify every aspect of the show, from the cases to the other characters to the lighting design to the set designer's fondness for elephants, as all being clues to a canonical Sherlock/John relationship?", https://www.google.se/books/edition/Queerbaiting_and_Fandom/zrG8DwAAQBAJ page 91

ALT1: ... that the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in Sherlock is one of the most studied examples of queerbaiting? Source: "Scholarship on the 'queerbaiting' tactic has focused primarily on the BBC's Sherlock (Fathallah, 2015; Sheehan, 2015)." https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1367877916631050, note that this article was published in 2016 so it's possible this information is out of date
ALT2: ... that well before fans of Sherlock shipped Johnlock, Graham Robb argued that Sherlock Holmes had a "distinctly homosexual lifestyle"? Source: "Holmes has a distinctly homosexual lifestyle", https://archive.org/details/strangershomosex0000robb, page 264, book was published in 2003

This is a really, really interesting article on such an interesting topic and I really think that with a little bit more expansion it deserves a chance for GA! There are no sourcing issues or any other issues I can see, article is long enough, and earwig does not show any copyright violations. I have also run the IABOT so more of the sources have now been archived :) QPQ has also now been done. I have two small suggestions (though they are not make or break) - I think the lead could be slightly expanded, and I suggest that the "Queerbaiting" subheading could maybe perhaps be changed to something like "Accusations/discussions of queerbaiting"? However, the article is good for go to DYK - Well done, you should be very proud! :) I think ALT1 or ALT2 should be used (with a slight preference for ALT1) - ALT0 is also good, but I think some readers could find it a bit difficult to understand and hence I think the second and third hooks would be best.
