Talk:Paul Ekins

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because. the material was available under a cc-by-sa licence, and was originally on Wikipedia. The page was deleted for reasons of notability that are unclear to me, he seems notable to me --Greenhistory (talk) 18:36, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Can you point to the version that was deleted for notability? The only version under this name that I can find was deleted in 2014 as a copyright violation of a different site, so if this version is the same as that version, it still may be a copyright violation that got mirrored out as being CC-BY-SA, which is ind of our worst-case scenario for copyright problems.

 * I can't unfortuntately point at the deleted version, however IIRC I wrote most of this originally, so I suspect any copyright violation that was assumed was incorrect. I don't suppose the edit logs are available any longer?
 * I think the reason for this is that Ekins has a potted history that he reuses with essentially the same list of facts in a number of places, eg. UCL bio. These facts are repeated here, but some of the phraseology remained close. I suggest that you or others check the text to ensure the transposition of facts does not also contain too similar phraseology. At present it seems to me this article avoids this.Greenhistory (talk) 08:31, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
