Speedy deletion notice edit

@ScottDavis:

User:Dlthewave has nominated the article for deletion and notified the creator User:Pdfpdf, who created the stub in 2010, but then normally prolific Pdfpdf hasn't been active since August 2018. Looking at the history, the copyvio is due to additions by an SPA, User:Suemead, in March 2013.

Rather than deleting the article, I suggest that the copyvio edits be removed, or rewritten by someone with more knowledge of the field. Bahudhara (talk) 01:21, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • I removed the copyvio and changed the speedy-delete request to revdel so that it can be "rescued". Practically all of the text had been copy-pasted, including Pdfpdf's initial version of the article. The sources [1] and [2] are practically useless in my opinion but I'm preserving them here in case they can be used to find better secondary sources. –dlthewave 01:58, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
I hid a bunch of revisions (maybe not as many as requested), and submitted what was left for AFD. User:Pdfpdf seems to have archived the notice you put on his talk page, but not otherwise responded, so he gets another one as the original contributor for an AFD. Those sources are only good for "The organisation says that it is..." --Scott Davis Talk 12:49, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
