Sorry, but...
The reference you added is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. It looks user supplied and tells us precisely nothing more than a list of cases. Please look at WP:RS to see what sort of references are needed and which are considered suitable. Peridon (talk) 22:41, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * That's better. Sorry to have been a bit abrasive, but it often gets results faster than just putting a tag on does.... Peridon (talk) 23:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

It is O.K. However, I would like to adress the fact that OYEZ is most certainly not "user supplied." It is a legitimate, highly accredited Supreme Court database. Jroberts.757 (talk) 03:15, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Matthew Roberts
The question is not whether he and Charles Manson are the same person or not. It's whether Roberts is actually notable enough to have his own independent article or not; it's perfectly normal and acceptable for a title to redirect to another topic that isn't identical, but is related and contains information about title #1, if that first title doesn't or can't have its own article.
