West Side Story (Musical)
This is a full-text copy of an entire script, as the creator admits in the intro paragraph. As WSS was first produced well after 1923, it is almost certainly a copyright violation to list its entire content on any Wikimedia Foundation project. Even if it is somehow in the public domain, it would belong on Wikisource. (And merely being posted on a website like aellea Classic Movie Scripts is not evidence of PD.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (four votes to delete, no dissent). &mdash;LrdChaos 14:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete unless proof of public-domain status provided. If so, transwiki to Wikisource. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. According to the Copyright Office database, it was first registered in 1957, with updates and new arrangements for another three or more years after that, so the copyright term still has many, many years to run.  121a0012 04:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 11:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless someone wants to undertake the fun task of parsing some memorable quotes from the script. In any case, if the public-domain status is verified, this should be transwikied to Wikisource. ~ UDScott 12:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
