{{Lafc|username=M pascal|ts=14:06, 1 July 2025|draft=Dead Link}}
While writing a Wikipedia page, some links used for citations have become dead links because the source has renewed its site and the older content has not been included in the new system.
Unfortunately, I can't find anything useful on the Wayback Machine.
During my research, I found a person who has a digital PDF copy of the newspaper that reported the news in his private archive that would be useful to me as a source.
When I asked ChatGPT about it, I received the following response:
"Yes, it is possible to use scans or PDFs of newspaper articles as sources on Wikipedia when the original links (URLs) have become dead links, as long as they are reliable and verifiable sources. Here's how to do it correctly:
When you cite a paper source or a PDF that you have, you must provide all the bibliographic details useful to identify the article.
For example:
:{{Cite news |last=Bernardini |first=Marco |date=August 23, 2021 |title=Per Davide Belletti la storia si chiama «Swim for them»: fatte mille vasche |url=https://edicola.gazzettadiparma.it/gazzettadiparmasrl/reader/xsearch.jsp?edition=20210823gazzettadiparma&pag=23 |url-status=dead |access-date=2021-08-23 |work=Gazzetta di Parma |page=23 |format=PDF kept privately}}{{Broken link|date=July 2025}}
:
What do you think? Is it possible to do as suggested?
Alternatively, is it possible to send these journal articles to a reviewer so that he can verify the authenticity of the sources I refer to in the draft? [[User:M pascal|M pascal]] ([[User talk:M pascal|talk]]) 14:06, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
