 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Article cleaned by investigator or others. No remaining infringement. Hello, User:Cameron bates. While I really appreciate your input here, I'm afraid that this doesn't meet our standard of evidence for copyright issues. :/ Ordinarily, we would request an email from Demarco, but this is problematized by two things: (1) the MTV page was cited as a source at the article's creation, and (2) the authorship of the content is not clear, so we cannot be sure who authored it (and can thus give permission or declaim originality). This is what happens sometimes, unfortunately, when people copy-paste stuff from Wikipedia without meeting the terms of the license. Rather than delete, I've stubbed the content and removed a few unusable sources, including the mtv page, as this content is user-generated. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
