Mass deletion
Over the course of a few edits I've had to delete basically this entire article. It was filled with copyrighted material and speculation which was quite problematic given our WP:BLP policy. Previous versions contain a lot of material and sources, but it would not be appropriate to revert to these versions since there were a lot of copyright problems. Rather anyone who is interested in working on this (and I'm afraid I'm not) should dig out the sources and re-write whatever is notable from scratch. I believe in WP:PRESERVE and don't enjoy mass deleting material but our rules about copyright and BLP are pretty unambiguous. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 23:36, 7 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The deletion of the entire article doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry to say this but it had been reduced to a stub-article by you. Saying that it is a copyright-violation might also be a "false alarm" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_violations). Please also note that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NFC#Text doesn't cite any word-limit, so it's not possible to tell what's a quotation and what is a copyright-violation. However, if there are any copyright violations, you can ask other users to contribute/improve by putting it on the requisite list or you can consider contributing yourself. Rewriting the entire article requires effort and you have mass deleted important, well-referenced information. Hence, I'm reverting it back to the earliest complete version.--Laitrapmi (talk) 04:34, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with User:BigTimepeace, most of the content should be removed. Part of the text has been lifted from .  Mahanga Talk 23:15, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Copyvio
I've blanked the page pending copyvio investigation and cleanup, since this appears to be multi-source copyvio, I'm going to list sources here as I find them:
 * 1) UBS rebuttal section

 * I removed the text from that one source which was added here. Are there anymore sources?--NortyNort (Holla) 10:48, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I found a bunch of other sources. The article's creator and main contributor seems to have a problem with copyvios and much of this article is or is most likely one. I recommend stubbing it. See the entry at Copyright problems/2011 June 26.--NortyNort (Holla) 11:11, 4 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Er, my bad, I was busy with the CCI that brought me to this page and I completely forgot about listing the sources on this one. There seem to be a variety of sources and edits from which the copyvio was added and I wasn't able to figure out how far back it goes. Given the quantum of copvios, some form of revdel/deletion should be required. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  11:14, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I recommended a stubbing at WP:CP. Unfortunately, the initial version of this article contains a copyvio from http://www.livemint.com/2008/02/02001510/UBS-deal-died-over-unexplained.html.--NortyNort (Holla) 12:03, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
