"::::I don't understand what you are trying to tell me.  Having transcripts of a court case online is a ""nice to have"", it isn't mandatory.  A court case transcript is a reliable source.  What you are arguing can be said of any source,  you could just as well apply your concerns to any source which doesn't exist online.   The purpose of the court links is to give anyone that so desires sufficient information to go to the court and access the transcripts.  Also those court links do show the status of the court cases.  WP:RS is not equivalent to  ""exists online"".  WP:V can be satisfied by providing all the information required to retrieve a case.  Just because the court itself doesn't make transcriots available online doesn't mean that a court transcript can't be referenced.  That's like saying that if I reference a book I find in a library that isn't online it doesn't satisfy WP:RS or WP:V.  That's just plainly wrong.  Most books and journals aren't online or are behind a paywall.
