A Knight in the Congo[edit]

I can see no notability about this topic, and it is an orphan article. Timneu22 (talk) 20:03, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete as G12 The brief text of this article was taken verbatim from a reference book that can be found online here: [1]. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:35, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I removed the SD as my understanding of copyright is that there is simply too little content here to be of any consequence. If this understanding is flawed, just re-tag or delete straight off. - Jarry1250 ^{[ humourous – discuss ]} 11:08, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I retagged as G12 - the entire text for this article is lifted verbatim from a paragraph in the cited book, which is copyright-protected. Pastor Theo (talk) 12:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Copy vio or not, the book seems to fail notability. Current sales ranking at Amazon is #3,701,636. Granted the book has been out of print for a while, but the lack of reviews etc make it tough to call notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
