Can an admin perform a copyvio revdeletion of this article? Ryan Vesey 05:29, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The present article is not a copyright violation; if the text from their website is present in the history, I do not think that is a serious enough violation to require rev-deletion unless the copyright holder complains, which seems unlikely. JohnCD (talk) 19:15, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have reinstated Admin help. It is common practice to revdelete copyrighted material and we do not wait for the copyright holder to complain. Ryan Vesey 04:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * From WP:Copyright problems: "If infringement is not blatant... The infringing text will remain in the page history for archival reasons unless the copyright holder asks the Wikimedia Foundation to remove it (unless it is tagged for copyvio-revdel." My reading of that is that in a case like this, where the organization is copying its own website to promote itself and so is unlikely to object, we don't bother unless asked. Rev-del is a tool we are told to use only when necessary, and the whole thing is likely to be deleted as non-notable anyway. But I will leave the admin-help to see if another admin agrees with you.

 * I've hidden the revisions since I can see no editorial reason to keep blatant copyright violations in our page history. Reaper Eternal (talk) 11:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
