 * Contributor was not advised. Remedied and relisting under today. There does seem to be substantial duplication dating back to the 2nd edit of the article. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Template:Uw-rikrolblock ([ history] · [ last edit]) from Rick Astley's song Never Gonna Give You Up. 76.66.192.35 (talk) 08:48, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a copyvio. Without actually reprinting the Astley lyrics here (and thus committing a copyvio), or linking to a site that does, how does one prove otherwise? Please Google the song title plus "lyrics", and see for yourself that the words in the template are different. Astley didn't sing about things like "login" and "unblock"; verse metre and the bare phrase "Never gonna" aren't copyrighted; the tune isn't played here. — Sizzle Flambé (☎/✍) 09:22, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It is a substantial copy and derivative work of a copyrighted piece of intellectual property. It's plaigirism, and why people sue each other for substantially identical sounding songs in the music business all the time, even though the lyrics aren't the same, they are substantively similar, and thus infringing works. 76.66.192.35 (talk) 13:39, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It's called a parody.--Joshua Issac (talk) 18:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * A parody is a derivative work. 76.66.192.35 (talk) 06:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * In particular, it fails to satisfy "the use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works." as it does not comment on the author's (Rick Astley et al.) works, it is used to comment on a rickroller, whom is not the author of the song in question. 76.66.192.35 (talk) 11:26, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It isn't a "substantial copy". Again, must (and can) we print the lyrics side-by-side here in order to show that? Would that reprint, for that purpose, create a copyvio here? — Sizzle Flambé (☎/✍) 19:11, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This was userfied at a TfD discussion on it to User:Sizzle Flambé/Uw-rikrolblock ... however the text derived from the lyrics remain. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
