Disappearance of Jerry Michael Williams

edit
  • ... that Michael Williams' apparent disappearance 15 years ago today is the only time the body of someone believed to have drowned in Lake Seminole has not been found?

  • New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. I have one question about the referencing: 9 out of 12 sources are from the local paper, the Tallahassee Democrat. Do missing persons cases have to have wider coverage to meet notability? Regarding the hooks, I struck ALT2 as the least interesting; the others are all verified and cited inline. My preference is for ALT1. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 20:22, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I did sort of anticipate this issue. would suggest that the fact that the case has been the subject of an episode of Disappeared, a TV show on the Investigation Discovery network, which gets nationwide distribution, as well as later being made available on DVD and streaming media, constitutes that wider coverage.

OK. Again, my preference is for ALT1. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 10:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
