Whitespot Restaurant

 * – This article smells of both OR, Copy Vio's & NN. The article reads as though someone has stripped it from a book & we all know how we hate copy vio's. Delete, if not speedy. Spawn Man 00:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Correction - Thanks to Charlene below, this article is now confirmed to be a copy violation. Spawn Man 04:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge and Redirect to existing White Spot. A definite notable family restaurant in canada, and this new article have some of the history available. HOWEVER, it is possible Copy Vio, since I thought I saw some of these in the restaurant. George Leung 00:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to White Spot - the actual content looks like it's copied and pasted from somewhere. — Pious7Talk Contribs 00:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment We're (coincidentally) going to White Spot in about 15 minutes. I'll print this out and take it with me - if it's a copyvio of anything there I'll report back. If so, Speedy Redirect. -- Charlene 00:52, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Redirect as copyvio. This article comes straight out of a brochure produced by the company. -- Charlene 02:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect - It's not wikified and reads as an advertisement. - Richard Cavell 01:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment since 1) it's copyvio 2) It's edited by one contributor, can we talk to the editor, then invoke the WP:SNOW and/or put a copyvio tag? George Leung 04:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In my experience, any article which is on afd & is found to be a copy vio is speedied right away. If parts were copy vios, then that would be different & rewritable. But this is the whole article & it is so obviously either OR or a Copy vio. What's the editor going to say when you message him? Okay, I commited copy violation, silly me delete it. Normally I would have left a note, but this blatantly CV. Spawn Man 04:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, i invoke the WP:SNOW and go speedy redirect.George Leung 05:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per George Leung. Incidentally I'd been under the impression for a long time that we had to delete these kinds of articles to get the copyvio out of the history first, but I guess that's not true as per Copyright violations on history pages. cab 05:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
