1. Actually a pretty good take on the problems inherent with our current justice system.𝔖𝔲𝔪𝔪𝔞 𝔄𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔬𝔩𝔬𝔤𝔦𝔠𝔞 (𝔮𝔲𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔩𝔦𝔰) (𝔰𝔠𝔯𝔦𝔭𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔞) 13:22, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
2. An amusing anecdote. -- Techpriest (talk) 13:35, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
3. It could do with some expansion but, unless I am missing something it is on topic. BruceGrubb (talk) 15:21, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
4. Almost on mission - see SA's vote above. Scream!! (talk) 15:28, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

   how is it missional? there isnt anything about this persons crimes that is. his string of false confessions might warrant a mention elsewhere, but it doesnt justify this article, expanding on his crimes adds little more than lurid true crime tabloid journalism AMassiveGay (talk) 15:29, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

   Will you expand the article? Andrew5 (talk) 16:39, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

5. I think it's on-mission. (Also, frankly, TIL) ℕoir LeSable (talk) 18:41, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
6. This one could use some expansion and cleanup but it's definitely on-mission. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 18:42, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
7. It has a good point and is a decently amusing story. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano^{Make a Reservation} 22:32, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

1. False confession might be a missional topic for an article, but that's currently a redirect to confabulation (false memory). --Annanoon (talk) 14:06, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

   Seems like a sloppy redirecting, as false confession often happens without false memory. The text in this article is fairly short and could be one case to include in such an article. Another case comes to mind as it's the most well-known in Sweden: Sture Bergwall. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 15:01, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

2. Just curiosity: does it cost us anything to keep the articles? Bearing in mind that (I believe) the article will still be on our server even though not on view. What about starting (another!) space, like fun and draft, called "Deleted"? Scream!! (talk) 22:46, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

   Since most RW users are sysops, they can see it if they want to. But that's an ok idea.Andrew5 (talk) 00:09, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
