Property records

The first version was deleted as a copyright violation. The author reposted the material, leaving a note on the talk page. I don't know if this is sufficient proof of ownership, though. Also, the article is partially how-to and while it provides some information about property records, it is more practical information than encyclopedic. Also, the information only applies to the United States. I brought it to AfD to decide its fate: report it as copyright violation, delete or keep/cleanup. -- Kjkolb 10:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete, copyvio collage from [1], repost of deleted material. Sandstein 10:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The poster claims permission on the talk page. Is this insufficient? -- Kjkolb 11:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Not exactly, he just asserts "I have written the original text." This is no indication of permission; even if it were true, the copyright might well belong to his employer. Plus it would be OR to boot, as noted below. Sandstein 14:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Partially How-to essay that violates WP:NOT and WP:OR (per authors contention that the article is their sole work as posted here [2]).--Isotope23 14:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but cleanup significantly. We have articles on Recorder of deeds and Land registration (and Cadastre as well) that touch on this topic, but don't fully explain everything. Property records could benefit from some cleanup. --Elkman - ^(talk) 22:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
