It seems that this no longer active guy created himself a neat website using Wikipedia as a host. Specifically, listed for deletion are his vanity page and copies of training materials, with high possibility of copyvio, as identified, e.g., by texts " To answer, click "edit" on the right, across from the "Questions" section." at the bottom Staszek Lem (talk) 00:18, 31 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per UP Excessive unrelated content. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 04:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Move to en.wikibooks.org. I can't find evidence of copyvio on Google. Content is inappropriate for WP but would be right at home at wikibooks. Can someone knowledgeable discuss the GPL issues? Can we just move the content over and delete it from here? Or would we need to keep a copy of the content here for correct GPL licensing? (If copyvio can be proved I will change my vote to 'Delete' of course) --Surturz (talk) 05:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Copyvio? Easily, with some effort: "The antitorque pedals, located on the cabin floor by the pilot’s feet" ->"Helicopter - Controls, Systems, and Limitations" and so on. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:24, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have requested import by wikibooks here. Please do not close this MfD until that request is resolved. --Surturz (talk) 06:26, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Majority of user's contributions seems to be to these non-articles. Delete as excessive unrelated content/using WP as free webhost. jni (talk) 06:06, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't think the editor was trying to share some knowledge here? --Surturz (talk) 06:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * WP is not a random collection of random knowledge, and policy is clear that our user pages should not be used to host personal pet projects or material that should go to user's personal website. So no, not all knowledge sharing is okey here. jni (talk) 06:39, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Even if the material is not a copyvio, the creation showed bad faith editing here. If the user wishes to try to add it to wikibooks, good luck to him, but i dont see why we should waste another minute on this material.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:43, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Close. Let's let the Wikibooks admins tag it for speedy deletion: either they'll decide that it's a copyvio and tag it for G12 speedy, or they'll move it over there and tag it for A5 (transwikied articles) speedy deletion.  The need to transwiki a non-mainspace page is so rare that there's no provision for it in the speedy deletion criteria, but WP:IAR will cover that quite fine.  If they decide that it's neither copyvio nor useful for their project, we'll do better simply to start the discussion over, and the few extra days of waiting won't hurt.

 * Delete all per WP:NOTWEBHOST and User pages. At Wikibooks:Requests for import, a Wikibooks user opposed importing of the material, writing: "*Strongly oppose First of all, this thing is a not a 'series of articles in wikipedia'. Second, it is a cut-and paste copyright violation from various training courses in helicopters. Example: 'The antitorque pedals, located on the cabin floor by the pilot’s feet' ->'Helicopter - Controls, Systems, and Limitations' and so on. Staszek Lem (discuss • contribs) 16:28, 31 July 2012 (UTC)" It is likely that all of this material is a copyright violation. Therefore, to err on the side of caution, all of the pages should be deleted and should not be imported to Wikibooks. Cunard (talk) 19:46, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
