Lewis h. nash

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article previously deleted last month via PROD, with reason: Probable copyvio of "The Story of Lewis Hallock Nash, ME, ED, by Harold Nash, 1931"; article recreated today. A More Perfect Onion (talk) 18:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep now that the license release has been confirmed. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 14:25, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete- Article states copyright Nash Co. In addition, the editor that created the article has a history of adding copyrighted material in addition to this article.  ttonyb1 (talk) 18:41, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I did consider tagging the page with db-copyvio; I wasn't comfortable applying the tag because the article asserts a copyright release. Which, admittedly, should not be a part of the article.  I question whether the creating editor has the legal standing to release the original article to Wikipedia. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 18:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete - can anybody check and see if this work ever had the copyright renewed? If not, it's public domain, and we can use it. Text is also at User:Amyharold: that should be deleted if this is.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC) Keep per OTRS release and ruthlessly cleanup per Mayalld :-)--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:34, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I have permission from the Nash family, and Nash Engineering Co. to post this article. If the copyright info is supposed to be appended some other way (I was told that I needed to include it to avoid having the article deleted), then please tell me how.

Lewis H. Nash invented, among other things, the liquid ring vacuum pump, which has an article of its own. It seems only right that people can see something about the inventor. Amy Harold, article poster —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amyharold (talk • contribs) 18:55, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment As I just posted on your talk page, WP:PERMISSION explains how you can establish your authority to repost the material.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * We've received an email at OTRS about this. I'm trying to establish the GFDL release properly. OTRS agents can view it at 2347188. Stifle (talk) 12:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * GFDL release confirmed. That should no longer be a reason to delete. Stifle (talk) 14:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and ruthlessly copyedit per OTRS release, and apparent notability, without prejudice to the fact that this article adopts a distinctly unencyclopedic tone! Mayalld (talk) 15:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
