Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I have looked at the external links which are supposed to demonstrate this and most of the article is not a copy of them, although a few small parts of it may be e.g. the plot summary of The Hill of the Red Fox. The article could certainly do with improvement, but as an biography of a significant writer which several people have worked on it is not unsalvageable, and not a case for speedy deletion.

The links provided in the CSD notice show that at least the vast majority of content is copyright infringement. If you believe I'm mistaken, and there are still some portions that are copyright infringement, could you please cut it down and then we can discuss the remaining content? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 00:27, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Obituary

PatGallacher, You added a reference to McLean's obituary. Which newspaper was this, and do you have a link? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 23:25, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

If you read the article properly, you will see it was the Guardian. PatGallacher (talk) 23:41, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oops, sorry. Do you have a link? --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 04:46, 11 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
