[edit] NHS Dentistry - What's Happening 2006

Very clearly unencyclopaedic, an FAQ or something into dentistry. Feels like a copyvio, but I can't find where from. [[Sam Korn]] 14:18, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Finally found it. Copied from here [1]--inks^T 21:52, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, this entry was copied from my website www.simonjenkins.co.uk and is an attempt to explain to people what is actually happening in the real world. We are all familiar with government spin and dentists know that government is forcing them into private practice and then accusing them of going into private practice. For the full detail please see my website above, if you decide this is not an appropriate entry into Wikipedia then so be it, but it is the truth.

regards Simon Jenkins www.simonjenkins.co.uk

• Comment. I can't find the text on www.simonjenkins.co.uk - but is it a copyvio if the author posts it? (and thus inherently gives permission?)--inks 00:05, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
  • No, it isn't. If he posts it with an incomplete understanding of the GDFL, and complains later, he'll have no defense. Xoloz 09:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• As per the above from 86.128.21.49 (talk • contribs), it is clear that this is original research. Delete. Uncle G 03:17, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete While the author's concerns may be real, WP:NOT a crystal ball. It is also not a place for discussion on the pros and cons of government funding decisions. Denni☯ 03:25, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete classic example of unencyclopedic content. Xoloz 09:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete this is a personal opinion of a political situation written for the direct purpose of explaining to patients why dentists are leaving the NHS and was never intended as an encyclopedic material by the author, ie me. Simon Jenkins
  • In that case, it's a copyvio, and I'm going to Speedy it under CSD:A8--inks^T 21:46, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Done.--inks^T 21:48, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
