Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because it is different from the bio found on the Complex Security Blog. It also has some valid references from credible sources, such as CNN, where he did an interview recently. --Courtmiller03 (talk) 17:58, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The duplication detection tools disagree -- they find that it is substantially the same as the linked URL. It may not be an exact, verbatim copy of the text at the linked URL, but enough of the text here was copied from there to constitute a copyright violation. References don't matter if the text is a violation. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:19, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
