Copyvio
Hey, I deleted the page, but I have no true issue with it being re-created in the future. The long and short of it is that you cannot use direct text pulled from another website such as Academia.edu. It's considered to be a copyright violation regardless of who wrote it. Even if they give up the content as fair use and/or give their permission in general, it is always expected that you (the editor) will re-write the material in your own words. Part of the reason is to avoid legal repercussions in the long run, but there are other reasons for this as well. In many instances the prose will contain words or phrases that Wikipedia would consider to be promotional in tone. (WP:PEACOCK) This is why it's so incredibly important to never just cut and paste text from another website. I have no issue with you creating it, but please do so in your own words and not with text from another website. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:39, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, we would additionally need coverage in places that are not affiliated with the artist herself. That means coverage in newspapers, scholarly journals, books, and the like. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:41, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
