A fact from David E. Kelley appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 16 April 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

/info/en/?search=David_E._Kelley#/media/File:David_Kelley_at_the_62nd_Annual_Peabody_Awards.jpg
Can someone confirm that this is really a picture of David E Kelley? Doesn't look like him at all. The main header picture shows how he looks - he has a quite characteristic look that hasn't changed much with time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.239.209.229 ( talk) 10:58, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
The recently added paragraph
merits some scrutiny. If, as The New York Times reported, Kelley was raised Catholic, to what Protestant denomination did he convert and when? And is Bobby Donnell "his character" more so than other Practice characters? Robert Happelberg 20:18, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
The examples provided of Kelley recycling dialog seem pretty trite. I bet lots of characters say "Hello" to each other on his different shows, too. Is that "recycled dialog" worthy of a place on this list? Or should we just delete this section? -- Christofurio 21:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
In his shows Alzheimers, Dementia, Brain Tumors and alike have been a very important theme. Also assitant sucide or sucide or relatives killing sick members of their family(mostly sons killing their fathers) are a theme. Its very apperent. Somebody should be writing something about that. i don't know if it has something to do with his personal history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.247.211.161 ( talk) 23:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
For the love of god, why does somebody keep removing that he changes facts in his shows? Its fact, god dammit. Are we supposed to believe he is some beacon of fair and true debate? No, his shows have changed facts to make storylines better - live with it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Conanoats ( talk • contribs) 12:34, 29 August 2006.
How can I cite a TV show? Maybe Wikipedia should remove all TV show entries since you can't prove any of it? It is all about fact and truth, what else is left? I don't want to read opinions, its true or not and this is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Conanoats ( talk • contribs) 16:30, 29 August 2006
there is the category of roman catholic entreteniers, but in the biograpfy is said that he is a ´prtestant?? so what is he???
Wikipedia says "The Copyright Infringing Defendant Delusional defendant who thinks he's an icon of copyrighted American folklore, such as a famous comic book superhero or movie character. For example, on The Practice, Lindsay Dole defended a man who thought he was Hannibal Lecter, and kept calling her "Clarice". In another episode, a mental patient thought he was Superman and tried to fly off a hospital ledge."
The episode where a mental patient thought he was Superman was not written by David E. Kelley and he had very little involvement with the show that season except for at the beginning and the end. Also that's only 2 examples of that character, which hardly constitutes an archetype. I think that part should be removed.
I'm blanking the whole section as Original Research. Find someone somewhere who's published this stuff and you can re-add it. -- Dante Alighieri | Talk 07:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I have rated this article as B class because while it is comprehensive there are some sections that lack references (casting and awards). I have rated it as mid importance because of the awards recognition and breadth of his career. I think it's a strong article and compares well to similar featured articles like Aaron Sorkin.
These categories are arbritrary and are subject to review by any editor who feels confident to do so. Please note that a more formal assessment by other editors is required to achieve good article or featured article status. I used criteria from the television wikiproject guidelines here, article about TV series guidelines here and the assessment guidelines here.-- Opark 77 12:01, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Shouldnt a reference to the song "David Kelley, TV Warrior" by DVDA be made somwhere in the article? -- Mackay64 ( talk) 15:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
There has to be something wrong in the following quoted sentence. It has no sense at all:
"Kelley is one of the only screenwriters to have had a show created by him run on all four of the top commercial U.S. television networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX)".
Besides the logical inconsistency, there should be a better precision about how many screenwriters other than him have achieved this feat. Or state that he is the only one, if there is no other in this category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.19.217.173 ( talk) 03:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
In this interview, Kristin Hersh of the band Throwing Muses says:
[The video for her song Loon] was shot by one of my dearest friends, David Kelley. Fun fact: he was one of the Painters in Rat Girl [Hersh's 2010 memoir]. He also came up with the straw in the orange for Tropicana. I remember that it was like a day off, which one rarely enjoys on tour. Days off mean you start asking yourself where the hell you are and what the hell you're doing there, but David made it sweet by letting me spend the day with my little toddler, Ryder (Ryder called it "Hamsterdam"). The camera was hidden for most of the entire two day shoot, which was very kind of him.
Does anyone know if this is the same David Kelley? They both have Providence / Boston roots. -- James E. Pace 17:43, 23 January 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jepace ( talk • contribs)
