| Submission declined on 11 December 2023 by Qcne (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Anthony Oliveira is a Canadian author, academic, and internet personality.[1][2] He holds a PhD in English literature,[3] and is a lecturer on pop culture history.[4]
His writing has appeared in Hazlitt, The Washington Post, Xtra, Torontoist, Fangoria, StarTrek.com, Birth Movies Death, and others. He also writes for Marvel Comics including the Young Avengers, X-Men, and Captain Marvel.[5] His writing has garnered two GLAAD awards[6] (for Outstanding Comic Book with Chip Zdarsky and Al Ewing and for Outstanding Graphic Novel/Anthology for Young Men in Love) and three National Magazine Awards,[7] for which he has also served as a jurist.[8]
Oliveira has been an outspoken critic of the Toronto Police and their failure to protect the queer community,[9] particularly their actions and "manifest lies" related to the predations and apprehension of serial killer Bruce McArthur.[10][11] He was the courtroom reporter during the trial for queer publication Xtra Magazine.[12] His piece, "Death in the Village," which sketched life in Toronto's queer community during the trial and under allegedly escalating police brutality against Toronto's queer people, subsequently won two National Magazine Awards (for Long-form Feature, and Essay).[13] [14]
Oliveira is the creator and programmer of Toronto's Dumpster Raccoon Cinema[15] at the Revue Cinema, which celebrates "pop culture trash" films recontextualized for queer audiences. The programme was noted for its role in popularizing singalong screenings of CATS, leading to the film's second life as a cult classic.[16]
His first novel, Dayspring (based on the National Magazine winning short story of the same name for Hazlitt)[17][18] is forthcoming from Strange Light in 2024.[19] His YA graphic novel project Apocrypha is announced from Harper Alley.[20]
