Communication
Even if wasn't ready to nominate this page, I am. More details on the copyvio issue on the talk page. I think this article is possible redeemable, but not without some significant work. (Why, if an anonymous editor is going to plagiarize some Web site, can't they at least give it a proper citation?) 121a0012 05:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete unless select, non-copyvio, properly sourced quotes from notables replace the current content. (It might just take some trimming and cleanup, although quotes from other sources would help avoid copyvio issues.) I wasn't ready to nominate it, but after 3 weeks of no activity, I'm ready to support its deletion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Elaborating on JeffQ's comments: the page is certainly copyvio, since it egregiously copies a web page that is copyright by the Colorado Board of Regents. (The page being copied errs, perhaps, in not prominently proclaiming the copyright but that doesn't mean it's not protected). Further, the citations on the source page are correct, since they link to a bibliography, but the citations on the WQ page just provide a name and a page number, but omit the title of the work being quoted! Cleanup, selection, trimming, and a couple of non-copied quotations will be essential to this page's retention --Ubiquity 12:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The choice of quotes for an article is a creative act and therefore subject to copyright; that makes copying them a copyright violation. Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 19:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
