 * How can I violate my own written work?!! I represent the Old Cranleighans and wrote the original copy and run the website it appears on. If you are really going to be this petty then please explain in simple English, as many 'instructions' are anything but, what I have to do to sort this out.

 * You may have written the original article, but you copyrighted it to the Old Cranleighans Association. It says so at the bottom of the page. If you had released it under an open source license compatible with the wikipedia license you could copy it to wikipedia, but you can not do that as it stands. You could try rewriting it to not use the actual words of the source, but that will not be easy. In any even, it is not clear that the association is notable. You should address notability issues first. Unless these are addressed, I support delete. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  02:08, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Or for the copyright issue, he can get permission from the Old Cranleighans Association to reuse it (which I suspect they would grant). For notability, it would be nice to have some evidence that Old Cranleighans are referred to in secondary sources. Francis Bond (talk) 07:57, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Cranleigh School. The amount of text visible in this state seems a necessary and sufficient coverage of the topic and can comfortably be merged into the school article. &mdash; RHaworth 12:32, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Please delete this page in its entirity. All I was trying to do was add value to Wikipedia but its not worth wasting your or my time any further. I appreciate the time taken by your moderators to do a difficult and presumably unpaid job; I do not think the snideness and professional sleights which seem a part of RHaworth's operational style do Wikipedia any favours however.

 * I am surprised, albeit amused, you can delete or amend articles at lightning speed but when the author of them asks for them to be taken down, there's a wall of silence. Please remove the content as it appears on the Old Cranleighan Society website and without my consent to use, which in view of above conversations has been withdrawn, is a clear breach of the OCS' own copyright. Thank you. Mogodonman (talk) 17:26, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Because OTRS permission has been withdrawn and the copyvio text remains under an all rights reserved license at the website, I have deleted the templated text now rather than allow our standard 7-day "good faith" waiting period. I have also purged the history because of the OTRS revocation. — Cactus Writer (talk) 16:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect - Restore the article as a redirect which it was prior to the recent addition of copyvio text. — Cactus Writer (talk) 16:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Despite my requests to remove this page which I created, it remains on the site. Please remove this immediately. It is ludicrous RHaworth can remove content when I gave permission in a matter of hours and yet when there is no permission nothing is done to remove it. Your help would be appreciated.

 * I have marked it as a speedy delete as an author blanked page. - It should go within a few hours. I have also rescued the text and posted it on the talk page of Cranleigh School where some knowledgeable editor can integrate it.  Velella  Velella Talk 22:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
