Tupac Shakur
I don't really expect a wholesale delete on this article, as it has a lot of useful quotes, but there is considerable material in it that seems like clear copyright violations, and I don't believe we have a formal mechanism yet for citing copyvios outside of VfD. (It also needs some format cleanup, and Tupac fans ought to be able to move some of the Attributed lyrics into Sourced.) I recommend anyone wanting to keep this article remove any complete lyrics or poems, leaving only pithy excerpts, before the vote close date. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * VOTE CLOSED. Result: kept due to no consensus (no proper votes; 1 late Keep vote). Mission accomplished anyway, as the article appears not to be a copyvio risk now. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:56, 9 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment: I don't know his work, so can't make my opinion properly. But "Poetry" section could exceed fair use and copyvio ... --Aphaia 09:17, 5 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment: I removed Poetry and Lyrics because of possible copyright violation. Hope it will not be deleted now.

 * Keep now, after potential copyvio removals. My thanks to 62.131.147.125 for stepping up to the plate. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:47, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
