The result was keep. Listed for 14 days with no arguments for deletion aside from the nominator and a refuted copyvio claim. I was almost tempted to close this "no consensus" considering that only one of the "keep" !votes is grounded in policy. (and yes I did notice that one editor !voted "keep" twice) (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete - copyrighted material from [1]. Speedy tag added. --SharkxFanSJ (talk) 01:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • As far as I can determine, this is not a copyright violation (at least not on our side)—the servinghistory site extracts material from Wikipedia ([2]), not vice versa. Kirill [talk] [prof] 05:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I can't see the text that this article is alleged to be plagiarised from. He'd be notable enough for an article. We could use this as a source. - Richard Cavell (talk) 04:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Did you even look at the link and the current article? The current article is someone who lived during 1690 and the article you linked is somebody who died in 2007. Please at least read what you're linking before posting it. Cat-five - talk 03:12, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • You're right. My source does not apply to the one the present article is about. Both of the Galloping Hogans would be notable. The copyvio claim is mistaken. Still keep. - Richard Cavell (talk) 07:08, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
