 * Weak keep. This editor has a somewhat tainted record of poor speedy nominations and the extent to which WP:BEFORE has been attempted is unclear.  Minimal efforts using Gbooks return the following sources

 * Delete, speedily if possible unless someone chooses to bring the article in line with Wiki policy (i.e. Copyrights). AS IS, the article is copy and paste from the subject's website. If the copied material is removed, then nothing is left. Location (talk) 19:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Whoooa there - has anyone read the  4 Before nominating an article for deletion? Read and understand the Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion. If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion. Read the article and review its history to properly understand its topic. Note that stubs and imperfect articles are awaiting further development and so the potential of the topic should be.  As Power.corrupts pointed out a quick Google News search brought up these references .  An editor should try and improve, even when copyright, is an issue, before nominating for Deletion.

 * Unfortunately, WP:BEFORE is a guideline that frequently contradicts parts of WP:COPYVIO and WP:CSD (which are policies), otherwise there would never be a reason to delete an article based on copyvio. Well before the sections you mentioned, the very top of the Afd page indicates the importance of addressing copyright violations. If a subject is notable, I certainly have no objection to an editor removing copyrighted information and re-writing it, thus I have modified my recommendation accordingly.

 * I'm on board with the redirect idea too. I'll do it (if somebody else doesnt) tomorrow, if there's no objections Corpx (talk) 09:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
