 * Delete even speedy. Just duplication, without quotations. --Aphaia 09:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Clearly not suitable as a Wikiquote article.  However, if it is a (very clumsy) copy of a Wikipedia article, why is it flagged as a copyvio?  All we'd need to do (were the article otherwise acceptable) is add an acknowledgement.--Poetlister 20:01, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if English Wikipedia majority think so, but on Japanese Wikipedia (so under Japanese jurisdiction) it can be argued that GFDL violation is within copyvio. So in a wider sense, mere copy and paste from Wikipedia without inheriting the history of the original could be called "copyvio". I suppose, however, on English project it would be wider accepted "if there is a note on its talk, it is okay even retrospectively." --Aphaia 20:12, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, GFDL is a legal license with requirements, so if the requirements aren't being followed, then the copyright is being violated, even if it's on another Wikimedia project. Of course, that means that many of our articles with quotes transferred en masse from Wikipedia are also in violation, as few transferring editors thought to include edit histories or the usual link to the original page to give credit to the copyright holders (the original article's editors). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete as copyright vio and no quotes. I feel our committment to follow lic requirments from our sister projects is greater not less as there is no excuse for us to not understand the licensing as is the case with some other people that want to use the content.
