| Submission declined on 18 November 2024 by MolecularPilot (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The only reference you've provided is a link to the WP:PRIMARY (and non-indepdent) writings of the judges involved in the case.Please provide references to other people discussing the case to establish its notability.Also, while this says 1809, it seems identical to an article we already have (but labelled 1795). Please check that they aren't about the same case (if they are, you are welcome to contribute to the existing article): United States v.

U.S. v. Peters is an 1809 United States Supreme Court decision establishing the supremacy of federal court decisions over state decisions [1] The case begins in September 1778, on a British ship that was seized by two Connecticut prisoners of war on board, who captured the vessel and attempted to pilot the ship to New Jersey. Within sight of land, the ship was boarded by the crew of a Pennsylvania ship, which brought the captured British ship to Philadelphia under the care of a privateer. The suit was heard in admiralty between the prisoners of war, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the privateers over who was entitled to the proceeds of the sale of the ship.
