[edit] Edwin Bryant/Temp

This only concerns the bottom portion. The top part of the entry about another person is up for copyvio.

The book covered has an Amazon sales rank of ~500k. No other claims of notability made.

• Delete non notable, copyvio. JamesBurns 03:30, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Obviously. How can somebody seriously base a vfd on an Amazon sales rank? By the same logic, almost every writer before 1900 or in a specialised field (like for example Indology) would be non-notable. This is an author and editor of several important books in the specific field. See also for example: [1], [2], [[3], [4], [5] etc. The article should be expanded however. And maybe Edwin Bryant should be a disambiguation page. The copyvio only concerns the person from the first part of the article. --Avecit 08:50, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• What a mess! This article comprises two entirely separate Edwin Bryants. The first is, indeed, a copyright violation (The museum's web site is not GFDL licenced.), and there is no prior non-infringing version of the article. By strict application of our copyright problems procedure, the entire article must go (there being no non-infringing version to roll back to), and the author of the second part of the article, on the second Edwin Bryant, should have been required to rewrite it from scratch in the rewrite article, which User:Lotsofissues should then have nominated for deletion (since xe wants it deleted). I've blanked the copyright violation article, started a rewrite article about the second Edwin Bryant using material from an Amazon search (rather than the original article), and shifted the VFD there.

• This published author of three books and editor of a fourth appears to meet the WP:BIO criteria. Keep. Uncle G 12:25, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)
