A weird bibliography sourced to a single paper from the SSRN that itself says it will be copied to Wikipedia. A single paper does prove it meets WP:NLIST, all of the entries fail WP:GNG themselves, and as a whole, it reeks of WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Kept at the last discussion with one vote which argued that the nominator didn't put forth a reason for deletion. Why? I Ask (talk) 20:29, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete Not sure if unannotated bibliography entries constitute a copyright violation, but this is a copy-paste of [1]. Invalid as an encyclopedia article. Reywas92Talk 21:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • A previous version of this was speedy deleted and restored, see [2]. Maybe not a copyvio, but I'm baffled why someone would think Wikipedia is an appropriate place for this. A small selection of relevant publications is acceptable at Freddie_Mac#Further_reading or a similar section of Fannie_Mae, maybe even link to this source but don't copy it all in!

    Yeah, it's not in violation of copyright. It was uploaded to Wikipedia by the copyright holder. I would love this paper in the "Further reading" section of the two companies in question, though. Why? I Ask (talk) 21:33, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete - Doesnt seem like the appropriate place for a list like this and I dont see a public interest in this list. ScienceAdvisor (talk) 00:22, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for your vote, but you really need to add an actual reason to be considered. Why? I Ask (talk) 04:54, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - anything sourced essentially from a single source is plagiarism in violation of academic ethics and of copyright in violation of our rules at WP:COPYVIO and WP:OR. See also WP:TNT. Bearian (talk) 17:12, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
