 | This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors.

Wikipedia is not a police or investigation agency but an encyclopedia. If you have what you believe is a significant lead for a criminal investigation that has not yet been published publicly by reliable sources, Wikipedia is not the place to post it: not only will it be deleted as original research, it could also potentially jeopardize an ongoing investigation and, especially if you happen to be wrong, ruin an accused person's life. Instead, please find the appropriate agency or agencies, and report it to them directly.
