I can't find good sources for this artist. The wiki page is a match for the biography page on his web site. GNG fail. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:53, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedily delete as a copyright violation per WP:G12. It does not matter that User:Anthonynmoore created the article about Anthony N. Moore by copying the text from http://www.anthonymoorepaintings.com/biography/ as long as that content is not properly licensed.
 * I was not sure in which direction the text was copied. Are you certain?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 13:36, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The first version of the article was created on 2010-07-15T18:26:14 by User:Anthonynmoore and contains the text: info courtesy of www.anthonymoorepaintings and www.anthonymooreonline.com. The earliest archived version of http://www.anthonymoorepaintings.com/biography/ is from 2010-09-03 at https://web.archive.org/web/20100903043912/http://www.anthonymoorepaintings.com/biography/. So yeah, we have an article that was created two months prior to the first archived version of the source. I still think it's reasonable to assume that http://www.anthonymoorepaintings.com/biography/ is the source, not wikipedia. --Vexations (talk) 14:27, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for that. I will also ping User:Diannaa as she is terrific in such copyright issues, and as an admin she can also delete now if necessary. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:32, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
 * This tool shows the source webpage was created on February 18, 2009, which pre-dates the creation of the Wikipedia article, so it looks to me like G12 applies. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:39, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Whenever there is a copyright issue, I know you will have the exactly correct answer.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:07, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
