Actually, the creator of the article gave away the truth right at the top of the article: It's a copyvio from Crime Library (which is, by the way, a good, interesting site that I wish had an article :P) CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 09:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- It's too old to be a speedy candidate. The old fashioned way of dealing with copyvios will have to suffice. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 09:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wow, I thought I was the only one who knew that there is a 48 hour limit. ;-) Now if only we can teach people what a commercial content provider is (someone who makes money directly from the content that has been copied, such a newspaper or encyclopedia that charges a subscription or sells ad space. advertising and business documents do not count unless people are paying to see it or ad space is sold. yes, it is that limited, and yes, it is nearly useless). -- Kjkolb 11:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, their murders/deaths should be (and no doubt are) covered in the articles about the individual artists. I don't like the limits on copyvio removals. It's clearly a copyright violation and there's no chance at all the submitter wrote it themselves. I think content from entities like Crime Library should be deleted even if they're not commercial. Isn't the limit there to give people the chance to claim ownership. Shouldn't be needed here. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
