The result was Speedy Delete as a copyright violation of a copyrighted web page. The article is a straight copy and paste of the "about" page on the company's own web site, which is copyrighted and not GFDL licensed. This application of Copyright Judo is stretching the copyright speedy deletion criterion slightly, as it might be argued that Staffoffshore.com (talk • contribs) was implicitly dual-licensing the text. But in order to have an encyclopaedia article about this subject we'd need to both completely rewrite the article from sources and move to the article a proper title. We might as well start from scratch without any concerns over copyright or corporate autobiography. Uncle G 17:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Staffoffshore.com Offshore Staff Leasing
Standard corp advert article. No assertion of notability, and I see no need to try to find one in light of the completely spamish tone of this article. (|-- UlTiMuS 03:28, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

- In light of this and Bones for Life -- Wellness through Movement Intelligence (AfD discussion), I do wonder whether a new law akin to Geogre's Law is in the making: There is a strong correlation between the inclusion of a marketing slogan or potted business summary in the title of an article about a company or corporation and the failure of its subject to satisfy the various criteria for encyclopaedia articles on companies and corporations.
