Michael Shay[edit]

Unelected candidate for local elections (non-notable person). Furthermore, the page contents are a copy of candidate's promotional website ([1]). Jadriaen 01:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete for copyright violation. It is a copy from the website. Ted 01:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nom. No speedy delete because it is most likely that the article came from the candidate himself, so it would be released (or at least, good faith should be assumed) --Lakhim 01:14, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as copyvio. Lakhim: copyvios of the author's own material are still required to be explicitly released, IIRC. TheProject 01:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Well aware, but I'd rather give them a chance to do so it if there is a chance that it may be released in the future rather then SDing it. Lakhim 01:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Lakhim, but even if the copyright gets released... the person is described on the page Maryland General Assembly Election, 2006 (with too much red links to non-notable persons) as "Carpenter, skipjack captain, environmental advocate from Churchton". Quite non-notable to me. Jadriaen 01:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Admittedly pedantic, guilty as charged, but I like to follow guidelines :] Lakhim 01:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete non-notable person --Nick Y. 02:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete, WP:NN, WP:COPYVIO. If the article is from the candidate himself, it's WP:VANITY. Morgan Wick 02:29, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: it should not be speedily deleted as a copyright violation. It is not less than 48 hours old and it is not from a commercial content provider, two things that A8 requires. Speedy deletion as non-notable might be possible. -- Kjkolb 03:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
