The article consists entirely of a plot summary for the character, with no secondary sources. I was also not able to locate any sources to show notability. QuicoleJR (talk) 01:47, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
Battlestar Galactica: Investigating Flesh, Spirit and Steel (ed. Kavneey, Stoy) | The book is an edited collection of essays published by Bloomsbury Publishing. | Cottle is mentioned in depth in at least two essays in the collection. One (Jowett) spends several pages on Cottle's actions and role in providing abortions. | ✔ Yes | |
Cylons in America (ed. Marshall, Potter) | Another collection published by Bloomsbury Publishing. | Another essay by Jowett that covers Cottle in depth regarding the show's portrayal of science. The pages examining him begin with Other characters...serve as instructive contrasts, but Doctor Cottle, the Chief Medical Officer, is worth examining in detail(p. 68) |
✔ Yes | |
The Theology of Battlestar Galactica (Wetmore) | ? Cottle is only mentioned once, but a line from the character is used in the next few paragraphs to support a claim about the show's treatment of prayer as a source of healing. Not clearly significant on its own, but a bit more than just a passing mention. | ? Unknown | ||
Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy: Knowledge Here Begins Out There (ed. Eberl) | Edited collection of essays published by Wiley. | Cottle is mentioned on page 7 and page 68, but both are passing mentions | ✘ No | |
Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy: Mission Accomplished Or Mission Frakked Up? (ed. Steiff, Tamplin) | Edited collection of essays published by Open Court. Note that despite the title, no apparent relation to the previous source. | A few references to Cottle and his actions, but the most significant of them is primarily focused on a plot situation (the ship running out of antibiotics) and not the character. Nothing here surpasses the passing mentions one would expect to find for any character in the show. | ✘ No | |
Doctors in space (ships): biomedical uncertainties and medical authority in imagined futures (Henderson, Carter) | Scholarly article published in a peer-reviewed journal (Medical Humanities); never been examined in depth on RSN but I see no reason to doubt the reliability and it's a publication of the BMJ which is reliable | Cottle is covered extensively in the section "Universality of health care..." and mentioned by name in the article's conclusion | ✔ Yes | |
