Single sourced 1 paragraph page

This doesn't seem to fit the Wikipedia definition of a full article. Suggest merging it with Baylor Bears Football page or expanding it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.42.57.184 (talk) 00:52, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a full article, hence the stub tag. I am working on much more content and am currently assembling what is a very eventful timeline of the events. As it is a timeline, I do not want to post until I have finished because, being incomplete, it would be misleading. This is a notable subject with extensive and ongoing news coverage and qualifies for its own article. −Wordbuilder (talk) 19:57, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok.

Unwarranted deletions

IP User 129.62.125.9 has twice deleted (1, 2) the Timeline section from the article. On the second deletion, the user said, in part, that the section was "stolen from reddit threads," and linked to this. I ran an Earwig's Copyvio Detector to compare the article to the specified post on Reddit. Its results indicated that copying was unlikely (2.0% confidence) with only 2 overlapping phrases for a total of about 7 words, so the accusation is clearly unfounded. As both the section and the Reddit post cover the same material, the basic facts should match if both are accurate, but there is no infringement and the section, which has over 80 citations, should remain in the article. →Wordbuilder (talk) 05:25, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
