Some inappropriate deletions?
After coming across this and this, both of which weren't copyvios as far as I can see, I have serious concerns about other deleting decisions especially when it comes to what user:Calliopejen1 calls a direct translation, that's a pretty vague formulation. I'd like to know exactly what constitutes a "direct translation"? and more importantly how can we verify that you made the right decision if you're wholly deleting the article and recreating it. In this edit the user have blanked the page not deleted it which is good since other people can verify if there was really a copyvio. What policy supports the way you've decides to handle this?

P.S: I'm assuming good faith but this should not be decided by one person, we must have the ability to verify that the content actually violates copyrights. Additionally user:S710 created a number of good relevant articles especially in the Moorish writers and history topics, which nobody would ever create or contribute to otherwise given that few English speakers hardly know anything about these topics. I'm willing to reword articles based on cited sources and this is what I do when I come across copy/pasted passages...It's easier to destroy than to construct... --Tachfin (talk) 19:44, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
