Jersey's population

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )


 * Speedy-delete-tagged as a copyvio of http://www.boleat.com/materials/jerseys_population_a_history_mark_boleat_2010.pdf, but page Jersey's population is similar to how it was in February 2011. If the other page copied it off Wikipedia, best revert page Jersey's population to as at 04:19, 19 November 2019‎. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:30, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * http://www.boleat.com/materials/jerseys_population_a_history_mark_boleat_2010.pdf carries a date of May 2010, there is a wayback snapshot from March 2011, and the original creating editor of the page was User:Boleat, who seems also to be the author of the PDF.

 * In any case, I don't quite see why this is a reason for an AfD nomination. If you think I revdelled a backwards copy, why not just post on the article talk page and ping me, or post on my user talk page. I am confused. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 06:41, 19 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Jersey and delete copyrighted text. Could be promising as Demographics of Jersey in the future. Ambrosiawater (talk) 08:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Page Jersey's population at 04:19, 19 November 2019‎ is similar to how it was at 22:11, 25 February 2011, and I suspected that the webpage had copied from Wikipedia: see Template:Backwards copy. User:DESiegel wrote: "and the original creating editor of the page was User:Boleat, who seems also to be the author of the PDF.": if the same man wrote the .PDF webpage and the Wikipedia page, that is a different matter again.

 * Do note,, that the web page had a publication date of May 2010, at least 9 months before the Wikipedia article was created as a userspace draft. The history shows this plainly. I can't prove that the web page is that old, as the first wayback snapshot isn't until 2011. I also can't prove that the author of the web page and the first author of the article are the same person, but the user name is the same as the author name on the web page. In simiaolr situations when it appears that a person has copied his or her own web site, we typically treat it as a copyvio, because we cannot be sure. (and also such copied content is rarely suitable anyway). I still don't understand the AfD nom or what you think should be done here. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 10:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * My only involvement here has been to add a Delsort tracking note. (Even though, for the record, I know Jersey isn't technically in the UK. It still seemed like the most relevant list.) Did you mean to tag Ambrosiawater? MarginalCost (talk) 11:32, 19 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - The original version of the article was a straight copy-paste and very little remains after removing the copyvio. Any potential content should be added to History of Jersey. –dlthewave ☎ 13:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
