Lukas Zpira
Body artist and modifier, nomadic performer and documentalist of the contemporary fringes. We have speedied this twice as vanity (at Lukas zpira) but a remark at User talk:Lavoice, the creator's talk page has touched a chord with me: ''isn't how it s work .. a wiki system. one people put what he know, another come on the top and add some more things etc''. Note that this is Lavoice's first contrib so it may well be vanity. Also given Lavoice's voice on the talk page, the article is unlikely to be Lavoice's own words but a quick Google check does not give any hit for the text. -- RHaworth 16:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per A8. It's a clear copyright violation from http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Lukas_Zpira. -- Nish kid 64 18:39, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That source is a wiki which does not seem to know about copyright but I believe that the default is to assume "copyright all rights reserved". -- RHaworth 21:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, the edit history of the article on bmezine.com shows a "Thevoice" as a major contributor today. It seems plausible to me that he wrote the article there, then decided to C&P it into Wikipedia in general.  Is it really a copyvio to paste one's own article from one wiki to another?

 * Well if that's the case, then I don't know. I was assuming that LaVoice and TheVoice were two different people. LaVoice made the edit on Wikipedia months ago, while TheVoice just did it today. -- Nish kid 64 23:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. The bmezine wiki article looks like it has several major edits today from "thevoice" am I missing something? (ready to admit it if I am) Dina 23:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC) Gah, I really am confused.  I mean Lukas Zpira was heavily edited by user Lavoice today. Dina 23:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment While there's no copyright information stated at all in the wiki's page (which means it might have copyright issues in the near future), the wiki itself is not a commercial site and does not fall under the A8 criteria. It doesn't even have banner ads!  ColourBurst 23:45, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. I don't know if its a speedy for copyvio. It IS unreadable, thus impossible to verify notabily or anything else. Herostratus 23:57, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Shouldn't this AfD be closed now? The article was deleted as a copyvio. Brian 06:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)btball
