Initial comments

Removed the redirect to the Killian Memogate story since that is entirely unrelated to Manuel Miranda.

Manuel Miranda was the person who stole the Democratic Senate Judicial Committee memos in 2003. https://www.metro.us/news/who-is-manuel-miranda-and-what-does-he-have-to-do-the-brett-kavanaugh-confirmation

I'm not sure he is worthy of a page himself but here is a summary: https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Manny_Miranda

Footnote format

I created the first external link/footnotes/references in this article expanded beyond bare URLs, and I set the standard, which is to use {{cite}} templates and list authors first name first. Please follow these standards unless and until there is a consensus on this page to change them. —Anomalocaris (talk) 06:33, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I slapped this together because people kept directing this to MemoGate, which is an entirely unrelated story. Thanks for cleaning it up.--Thalia42 (talk) 08:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This needs renaming

This isn't a biography of Manuel Miranda. For example, it starts off saying "was" -- is he deceased? Does anybody know? If it were a biography it would be in dire risk from WP:BLP1E.

Move this to something like 2003 Senate Judiciary Committee email leak (I don't know if that title is accurate) and do it now, because you'll only end up at AfD otherwise, the first time anybody who deletes things reads this. Wnt (talk) 19:00, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been expanded; it's now about the person as well as the scandal itself. The article can be further expanded, using the Sourcewatch biographical article, selectively, of course. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 00:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
