Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Tebbe-Friedrich-Wilhelm.htm.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted.

Note this article was virtually a verbatim copy from the bach-cantatas.com website. Although much of that page (but not all of it) was taken from the German Wikipedia and rewritten in English, it is a copyright infringement to copy someone else's translation. The website also contained material which did not appear in the German Wikipedia, but was nevertheless copied here, also a copyright infringement. Editors are welcome to re-expand the article, but you must do so in your own words, not by copying the work of others. Incidentally, the bach-cantatas.com page is not written in idiomatic English.

Well, actually, it was still not in idiomatic English, but I've corrected it now. However, there is a much more serious problem. The only reference provided for this article is still the bach-canatas page which is simply a translation of the German Wikipedia article. Wikipedia articles and sources based on them cannot be used as references for other Wikipedia articles. The remainder of the bach-cantatas page is simply a direct translation from Tebbe's official biography. Neither of these sources are sufficient for a biography of a living person. This article requires references to published reliable sources which are entirely independent of the subject. I also removed the YouTube video from the References section to the External links section. YouTube videos do not constitute a reference, and frankly that particular one may well be a copyright infringement as well. There is no indication that the poster there either owns the rights to that video or has received permission from the copyright owners to post it on YouTube.
