Talk:The painted hall

Merge proposal
There is already an article title for Painted Hall. At present, it redirects to Old Royal Naval College. I would simply move this article over the existing, but the existing article has recently been the subject of much copyright controversy, and a simple page move would not work. A requested page move would be appropriate, but I think the current content needs to be vetted for its own copyright issues prior to making that request.

 * Agree. And as said this reads like a copyvio: it is also way too opinionated for an encyclopedia article.TheLongTone (talk) 14:01, 28 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Again chunks of text has been copied word for word and the rest is unsourced and unwikified. Dormskirk (talk) 22:34, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The page, as of today's edition, shows very little similarity to the proposed copyvio source, and has had citations added. None of them are online, and many are quite old, but I think the present article is a legit analysis of the significance of the art in this space.

 * Huge chunks of the article lack line by line citations. As such it really does not comply with wikipedia guidelines as currently drafted. Dormskirk (talk) 21:32, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * It needs improvement, to be sure. But if the article is not a candidate for deletion (and I don't think this one is), then it should be moved to the proper title. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:39, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * This or similar articles at Painted Hall have been the subject of copyright violations on several occasions before. Unless in line citations are added setting out the sources we cannot be sure where this material has come from and that the pattern of copyright violations is not continuing. If in line citations are added I would be very happy for the article to be retained. Dormskirk (talk) 21:55, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * In that case, it should be nominated for deletion. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:31, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The editor who drafted this article has failed to inserted the sources despite being asked to do so on 29 September. We can only assume that the material has yet again come from copyrighted sources. Dormskirk (talk) 20:35, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
