Talk:Salsa dance (New York Style)

Protest of Speedy Deletion of This Article
I do not believe this article is a candidate for speedy deletion, because I do not believe it violates the copyright of http://salsablog.com.au/salsa-brisbane/About-Salsa/New-York-style.html, for the following reasons:


 * 1) All information in this article was copied from the New York Style section of the Salsa (dance) article on Wikipedia.  In other words, the material was copied, but from another related Wikipedia article, not an external website.
 * 2) The salsa blog at http://salsablog.com.au/salsa-brisbane/About-Salsa/New-York-style.html appears to have copied the information from Wikipedia, not the other way around.  It's dated Feb. 18th, yet if you check the history of the Salsa (dance) article, the same material was already on Wikipedia as of Oct. 3rd 2010, if not even earlier.  As further proof of this, the salsa blog contains Wikipedia style citations, e.g. [1], in the body of the text, yet these refer to nothing on the blog.

Additionally, I do not believe this article violates the copyright of http://www.nuevolutionsalsa.com/index2.html either, because I suspect that they too have actually used material taken from Wikipedia, not the other way around. I present as proof:


 * 1) Many parts of http://www.nuevolutionsalsa.com/index2.html appear to be same as the contents of the Salsa (dance) article, for example, "Salsa is a syncretic dance form with origins from Cuba as the original American meeting point of European and African cultures." --http://www.nuevolutionsalsa.com/index2.html, that's also at the top of the Salsa (dance) article.
 * 2) The "New York Style" section of http://www.nuevolutionsalsa.com/index2.html appears to be exactly the same as http://salsablog.com.au/salsa-brisbane/About-Salsa/New-York-style.html.  Yet neither of those two external websites seem to reference where their material came from.  They certainly do not cite each other.  I suspect that they both plagiarized from Wikipedia!
