Handbook on District Planning in Arunachal Pradesh by Rakesh Srivastava

The article makes absolutely no sense, but it looks like it's copied from a published source of some sort. Google turned up nothing of interest. I don't even know what to make of this, I'm starting to think vandalism. — Ledgend  Gamer  07:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's vandalism. I wonder if it's an attempt to cite a source, or add a source, to Wikipedia that's accidentally ended up as an article?  If you edit it, the text document that appears makes perfect sense because it has line breaks that don't show up.
 * Whatever, it looks more like an accident or error than a serious attempt to write an article. Is there any particular reason why you didn't use a prod instead?— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  07:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Looks like some sort of government report regarding economic development in Arunachal Pradesh. It's next to incomprehensible without much more context, and is completely unsuited as an article. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 09:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Besides any question of whether this is a worthwile article, it should be speedy deleted under G12 copyright violation. The vast majority, possibly all, of the article is copied from someone elses document with no indication of copyright status.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  10:23, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

 * The article itself opens with Workshop Handbook: SUGGESTIONS FOR FACILITATING THE PROCESS OF DISTRICT PLANNING: State Level Workshop on Determining Training Content for Sectoral Programmes and Plan Plus (with support from NIC), 10 – 11 Feb 2009, Itanagar State Institute of Rural Development, Arunachal Pradesh (my formatting) indicating that what follows is a direct copy from that document. I cannot see how any other interpretation can be put on it.  It is immaterial whether or not the document can be found online.  It is for the editor to show that the document is released under the GFDL (Wikipedia:Copyrights) which has not been done.  This article should therefore be treated as a copyvio until such time as a licence is provided.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  12:16, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy deleted as copyvio As Spinningspark notes, why ever would someone put the intro information into an article unless s/he were trying to reproduce a book accurately? Nyttend (talk) 13:34, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
