Hi PrettyLiveWire,

I have read the text you typed for The State of Oklahoma vs. David Ray Mitchell.

You did good work on the text:

Everything is spelled correctly;
the text is grammatically correct;
you have inserted paragraph breaks so that the reader doesn't get lost in a sea of text.

Unfortunately, the information you provided is not verifiable as it stands.

The Wikipedia page on Verifiability says:

To show that it is not original research, all material in Wikipedia articles must be attributable to a reliable published source. ...

Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core content policies, along with No original research and Neutral point of view. These policies jointly determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in articles.

Because of this, you need to provide references to newspaper articles, court transcripts, judges decisions, etc. that support the facts you list in the article.

For example, the text states "The Victim says she chose to leave this information out of the courtroom."

If you can find a newspaper article that says this, tell me the newspaper name, the title of the article, and the date the article was published, and I'll help you format a reference that supports the text.

Note: The newspaper article does not have to be online. So if you can go to your local library and find a microfilm version of the newspaper from 1995, we can make a perfectly good reference out of it!

Please continuing editing Wikipedia. I predict we can make creating your first article an enjoyable experience. :)

Proposed deletion of The State of Oklahoma vs. David Ray Mitchell

The article The State of Oklahoma vs. David Ray Mitchell has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No accessible RS. E.g., previous links in EL section all dead or simply involved a later scandal of the judge. Only cited in-line source was a court "docket" (primary source) listing case history. Written as a WP:RGW? In any event, not notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – S.
