Page copies a lot of content from http://www.mikejonesracing.com.au. I raised a CSD for this page but the creater is simply deleting the Notification without giving any reason. I suppose this is vandalism but I will update the noticeboard after I see the reaction to this AFD Wikishagnik (talk) 05:33, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see the only copied content is the list of results. My understanding is that such a simple list of facts with no accompanying prose is not subject to copyright, but I am not a lawyer. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:01, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That copied content is 70% of the article. The article does read like a fan page (WP:FAN) with weasel words but in most AfD's there is no consensus on what exactly is a fan page so I am ignoring the policy on that. -23:50, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

If content is not copyrightable then it doesn't matter what percentage of the article it constitutes. I removed half a sentence of promotional material from the article yesterday, and I can't see anything else that looks remotely like a fan page.
