The result was speedy delete as copyright violation. I went to look for sources for the Kerrrzappp!, and found copyright violations instead. The two articles listed are in fact straight copies and pastes of entire copyrighted non-GFDL web pages on this Geocities web site. Uncle G (talk) 15:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Mapulane Surnames

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A list without context or much in the way of explanation, written in first-person and having a GeoCities page as the only reference. Prod removed by anon (most likely author). JuJube (talk) 12:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is unencyclopedic. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 13:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Note Author has twice already removed the AfD notice from the article. JuJube (talk) 13:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Additional Note have added the article Mapulana as author is the main contributor to that one and it is related. JuJube (talk) 13:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggest removing it again. Mapulana is a documented community in South Africa.  The article may be written in the first person, essay-style, rhetoric-filled, and generally bad.  But a quick Kerrrzappp! using some sources would clear that right up.  It is probably best to deal with the originally nominated article on its own. Uncle G (talk) 15:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
