Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... I had permission from the manager of Smiley to set up a Wikipedia page. I think its relevant for him as an artist and indeed I used his biography. I will put an reference on it so that it would not be a copyright infringment. Please do not remove this article.

Thanks in advance --82.171.170.199 (talk) 07:43, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It needs a re-write. It's a duplication of his biography.

Read the Bio page and then write the Wikipedia page in your own words.

The encyclopedia page should include what's notable or important about him - if people want the details they will have the link to his Biography. Ytic nam (talk) 15:13, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I wrote it down in my own words. Is it good now ? --82.171.170.199 (talk) 15:50, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's better... It is no longer an unequivocal case of CSD G12 in my opinion - I have removed the tag. Ytic nam (talk) 16:25, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
