 * Note: The editor had removed the copyvio notice and restored the text, with some alterations; I have reverted for now., , what's the best way forward here? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:20, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I had hoped it was a simple misunderstanding. The text came from a wiki and the editor may have thought that made it okay. In fact I wondered if it was okay but I haven't located in a brief search any licensing information on the wiki. That of course, wouldn't be enough as it wouldn't address the attribution issue. However I see that the editor has edited substantially since the original notice and simply removed the commentary I provided without responding or explaining. Given that there are no other substantive contributors to the article, and the main editor shows no interest in addressing the problem I think the best option is to simply delete the article.I have done so.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  22:58, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, . I saw your note to him/her, and MRG's too, hence my pings here. I'm afraid the story does not end there: the plot of The Campus Queen is copied from here and here; that of Ayọ Ni Mọ Fẹ is taken from here. That's as far as I've looked, but it is concerning.

 * , I'm afraid this has risen again from the dead. As far as I can remember it is close if not identical to the version you deleted. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I deleted, and responded.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  15:57, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

, I see that you've archived this day. I just wondered, did you look at other contribs of this editor and decide they were OK? I've not looked deeply, but the quick glance I did take (late at night) gave me cause for concern (the two articles flagged above). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:58, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey, Justlettersandnumbers. No, I'm sorry - I didn't. :( I'm afraid I was guilty of just looking at the last notes, seeing the article had been deleted and clean-stubbed, and didn't realize we might be facing CCI material. I'll take a look. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:42, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
