Hi, you wrote the following:

"Appears to be a summary of a court case, but it is completely unreferenced and has no implcation of notability"
  • Unreferenced: I can't find the text of the case on the internet. However, the tagline "235 N.Y. 468, 139 N.E. 576" is a referencing system to indicate how students should find the case in a written volume.
  • no implcation of notability: I don't know what to say -- I can tell you that this was an important case in the product liability synthesis of the 1930s, leading eventually to the doctrine of strict liability for products. But I'm unable to write that in encyclopedic fashion, so I leave it to someone else to convey. But I promise you, this case is important, it's historic, and it's an article we need to have on wikipedia...Agradman (talk) 20:34, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is very likely notable enough, but it needs some work in terms of how it reads and in finding a source to include. The citation to its publication in New York and Northeastern reporters is certainly indication there is a source, but I would think we'd ideally want more than just that.
