Africa Rice Center

The 2007-03-22T09:23:26 edition is the same as paragraphs 2-5 of the Africa Rice Center webpage, and all the versions after that need to be deleted for copyright violation. It is very likely that User:AfricaRice is an Africa Rice Center member from the name. The webpage states that Proper citation is requested, but the Wikipedia article doesn't cite it properly and just lists it as an external link. - TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 10:45, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a program supported by the United Nations. There is nothing wrong with WP having an article on it. The article just needs secondary sources. Northwestgnome (talk) 15:39, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - One of the most important NGOs in Africa. A casual Google search confirms notability: [1]. Ecoleetage (talk) 20:08, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- (Comment) I'm not requesting the complete deletion of the article. The versions 2007-03-22T09:23:26 and later violate copyrights. The 2007-01-01T20:19:22 version is safe, and doesn't need to be deleted. - TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 23:32, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, we can't keep copyvios. Corvus cornix_talk 22:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets notability guidelines and I have removed the copyvio stuff. Article just needs to be rewritten to avoid copyvio. --Beloved Freak 10:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep — as a former member of staff (1998–2003), it looks to me like the copyright violation has been dealt with. It is certainly not couched in the terms used by the Center itself in its publicity—GRM (talk) 14:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
