"Accidents" being removed[edit]

Two different anonymous accounts have removed, without explanation, verified accounts of accidents associated with the firm. I have restored them in both cases. I am starting this discussion so that they can come here and explain why they think these items should be removed from the article. Folks, your opinions are welcome, but you do need to realize that articles here are governed by Wikipedia policy and by consensus. To post a comment, click on "edit" above and post your comments under mine, then click "save page". Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 01:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't these types of claim(s) be supported by multiple mainstream sources, or should the source at least directly support the claims that are being made? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.73.135.76 (talk) 21:19, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for coming here to discuss. Yes, the claims definitely do need to be supported by Reliable Sources. I think that is already true in both cases. The death of the child is supported by two mainstream sources, the Williamson Daily News and the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Roselle Park one is cited in a Reliable Source, but it's in an article about another accident, not a primary report of the Roselle Park inciident; does that strike you as not enough? Do you see claims in the article that are not supported by the sources? Let's get it worked out. --MelanieN (talk) 23:10, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
