More on deletion
I realize that the facebook site indicates that the content is "public". However, I don't believe "public" means the same as public domain.

I could be in error, but that wouldn't make the article OK; facebook does not qualify as a reliable source. -- SPhilbrick  T  21:08, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
