Top Ten Lists of Gene Siskel

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article consists only of a collection of lists, which are simply copied and pasted from its only source. The article has no added value to those copied lists and is therefore entirely redundant. Atlan (talk) 19:10, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I would suspect the original lists are copyrighted by the Chicago Tribune, which is a problem; the source is an unofficial collection of those lists. And, as the nom says, there's no added value to this collection of lists. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 19:37, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete G12. This is in direct copyright violation of Gene Siskel's estate. Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 20:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per Eliz81. Agreed, a blatant copyvio.  Might want to alert Caltech as well ... the author says that this was taken from a Website hosted there.  A copyvio of a copyvio ... good grief ... Blueboy96 22:14, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was going to tag the article for speedy deletion, but I couldn't find any copyright at that time. Let's speedy delete this.--Atlan (talk) 22:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * So tagged. I also warned the author earlier.  Hopefully an admin will speedy this soon ... this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Blueboy96 00:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Top Ten Lists of Roger Ebert should be deleted for the same reasons (and many other copyvio film lists). Crazysuit 01:27, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
