The result was   speedy delete. After further review, enough of the article is copyvio to require nuking the whole thing, G12. My first review of the wall of source text picked up only fragments, but reading the whole thing made it clear that there wouldn't be anything left after to lifted text was removed.

Renewable energy in Panama

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional essay, original unreferenced research, at least as far as the core of the subject is presented. Re-created article after PROD. There could be an article on this subject, but this one isn't it.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:02, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I seem to remember tagging this as a blatant promotional article (promoting his scientific opinion, which is also original research), but it looks like the editor in question has removed the speedy tag. I definitely endorse deleting this and considering that the editor in question (Ocharpen) is only here to promote his scientific viewpoint, I recommend salting and blocking the editor for being a promotion-only account. I don't think he's made any edits that weren't an attempt to promote his original research or accusing other Wikipedias and Wikipedians of censoring him.

 * Speedy delete, copyvio. Whole paragraphs lifted from http://challenge.ecomagination.com/home/oceanogenic-power (see also the duplicator report). I don't understand why nominator denied speedy, the copyvio is quite obvious (and even includes grammar errors). --Randykitty (talk) 16:10, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete per G12 and per RandyKitty. I also don't understand why a speedy was declined when there is a clear copyvio; I reinstated the CSD tag.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 18:48, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Looking at the usernames involved, it's possible that this isn't a copyvio anyway, merely one author posting to two sites. WP:OR could still be an issue though. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:44, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The site says "c 2012 General Electric Company". So even if it was the same person who posted there and here, they relinquished copyright over there and the article here still is a copyvio. --Randykitty (talk) 21:24, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
