 * Dubh (ar thitim Shrebenice, 11ú Iúil, 1995) ([ history] · [ last edit]) quotes parts of the poem in question - it's recent so probably still in copyright, is there a fair use rationale for this? ~ Zoe O'Connell ~  (talk) 12:40, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It would likely depend on the scale of the original poem. As our non-free content guidelines note, extensive quotations of copyrighted material are forbidden. Is the poem from which it's drawn considerably longer than that? If the poem itself is two stanzas and our article quotes one, we have almost certainly exceeded fair use and NFC. If the poem is epic, then we have probably not. That said, there should also be some critical commentary to meet the requirements of fair use. If you don't know the scale of the poem, you might want to raise that question (and the question of critical commentary) with the article's creator. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:20, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've asked the original contributor to pop in here and visit the discussion. ~ Zoe O'Connell ~  (talk) 13:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi guys, if there is any question of copyright infringment, it must be removed. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Fergananim (talk) 15:35, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That depends on the scale of the poem. :) I don't have the book. Is the single stanza a substantial portion of the poem? Is that your own translation, or is it, also, copyrighted to the book? Is there critical commentary need for the stanza? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:45, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Copyright asserted; internet archives confirm their prior publication (2005 archive, 2006 introduction of text). Copying is more extensive than originally tagged. I have blanked all duplicated material and will notify the contributor, who was not notified, to see if he can shed light on the matter. Relisting under today. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidently, no comment. The material has been stripped from the article, lacking evidence of permission or effort to revise. Standard advisory at article talk against restoration. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
