 * Comment: I have blanked the article (except for the aFD tag) as the article substantially copies material from http://www.roger-dean.com/biography.php  -- Whpq (talk) 14:51, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: There's nothing wrong with it, it's all factual and accurate. What a rigmarole! of course it has similarities, believe it or not the page is talking about the same bloke! if you bother reading it you will see many added extra details and facts that are not on www.roger-dean.com! Perhaps you could just save me the hassle and agree to keep it or delete instead of acting like the chief inspectors of the internet poliice force over this small non isulting and very factual article on an entertainer many people in the UK enjoy watching! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.246.150 (talk)
 * Reply - The reason is that the article content has been blanked out is due to it being substantially copied from a copyrighted source without permission in violation of copyright policy. That has nothing to do whether the information is factual or accurate. -- Whpq (talk) 14:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: and the reason that the two sources are similar at www.roger-dean.com and wiki is because I wrote the information on both the website and wiki therefore as the information is about the same entertainer then it's going to be incredibly similar and if people read the wiki article they will see there are substancial differences where detail is expanded upon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.246.150 (talk) 15:51, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Also please can you tell me why you say that this information infringes copyright without persmission? I've had no one contact me to confirm whether my permission was granted or not! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.105.246.150 (talk) 15:57, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Comment: will i get any further response here to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.149.92 (talk) 04:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Unfortunately, these pages are not watched for this kind of conversation. The page was created by User:.wozza1982, and instructions were left at User talk:.wozza1982 for the kinds of permission that we are entitled to accept. Since there is no sign of these, the article has been deleted. A second note has been left at that page with further instructions. The article can be restored if the permission is verified, but it should be relisted to permit consideration of the concerns that launched this AfD to begin with at that time. In terms of the differences, under the U.S. law that governs us, evidence of difference does not bar finding of infringement; courts look at similarities. Expansion on a copyrighted base creates a derivative work. Of course, if you authored both the external content and the Wikipedia article there is no copyright concern, but we do need you to verify that through one of the processes described at wozza1982's page. If you have additional questions, please come by my talk page (follow the link after my username), or I'm afraid that they may go unseen. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:35, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
