It's been rewritten, but what it is now is a derivative work. Take, for instance, "our" text "After a final gig in 1993, the band broke up. Taylor continued to record solo albums and to work with Queen." Compare the source: "After a final gig in 1993, the band called it a day. Taylor went on to record solo albums and work with Queen...." Needs more revision. --Moonriddengirl(talk) 00:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I received a note after this deletion claiming permission would be forthcoming (see here) and restored the article on December 4th, though still blanked, waiting for that to clear. On December 9th I suggested that the contributor resend that note. (See here.) Lacking further communication or evidence of verification, I deleted against on December 12. --Moonriddengirl(talk) 11:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the copyvio material is removed, thats the best we can do for right now. It likely won't survive prod, there's no assertion of notability. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 23:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The tag on the article didn't blank the whole article, just part of it...apparently implying that parts of the article aren't copyvio. But from what I can tell, the rest of the article is also plagiarized from here. I think the whole damn thing should be speedied. —Politizertalk/contribs 00:03, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see infringement here. Facts are not copyrightable. I don't see enough close following to create concern. --Moonriddengirl(talk) 02:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
