The most obvious example I know of is this one. Not a thing, never was a thing, and the entire page is just folk from 196 and blahaj dunking on wikipedia. And check out the talk page where they try to pretend that the skeleton image is the best representation of said "phenomenon", while simultaneously removing any messages doubting it's existence.

I dunno, it doesn't seem to overstate its case

While not all films, television shows, photographs, and music videos that use this lighting intend to portray bisexuality, many queer artists have deliberately used this color palette

It also uses sources such as Vice and the BBC

I wouldn't call it a high quality article, like at all, but I also wouldn't call it factually incorrect.

There were definitely none that did before the wiki article was created.

It also uses sources such as Vice and the BBC

The article from BBC is fluff written by a rando and is based completely off twitter circlejerk. VICE is not a reliable source as anyone can register as an author and make articles there.
