 * Delete unless someone uses the "write a new article" link to do a proper, non-copyvio job. We might want to establish a hold time (at least a week, certainly no more than a month) to give articles slapped with the in-your-face copyvio tag a chance to encourage proper recreation, before we nominate it for a 1-week-and-you're-gone VfD. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 11:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know that we need to establish any hold time; the week-long VFD offers a chance for people to try to write a new version, and if not, we aren't salting the page, and someone could always come along later to do a new version. Our one-week VFD period is better than or equal to Wikipedia (which permits SD of "blatant copyright infringement", and w:Template:copyvio says "Unless the copyright status of the text on this page is clarified, it will be deleted one week after the time of its listing."), and while we don't have nearly the same number of editors who might notice and try to save a page, we do call attention to it in one of the few placed polled by "the regulars" (as well as other editors). I think that, so long as editors are careful to only use the copyvio template in cases of obvious and direct infringement (the wholesale copy/paste of another site, for example) and use the less-jarring checkcopyright for other cases, we shouldn't run into too many problems. We don't want to be seen as permitting copyright-violating material to remain while we acknowledge it, which is the reason for blanking the page. We may wish to tone down copyvio (which I just adapted from the WP template of the same name), but I think it's in our best interest to blank and delete copyright-infringing material as soon as we become aware of it. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
