The article Tim Dunlap has been deleted per Wikipedia's copyright policies. With regards to the note you had written at the article's talk page, as Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission specifies, "To use copyrighted material on Wikipedia, it is not enough that we have permission to use it on Wikipedia alone. That's because Wikipedia itself states all its material may be used by anyone, for any purpose. So we have to be sure all material is in fact licenced for that purpose, whoever provided it." Furthermore, the information comes from IMDb, whose copyright is declared at the bottom of the page, and Mr. Dunlap's clearance is not legally sufficient to permit us to use it. Release of the information would need to come from IMDb. Please see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for steps to take to clear permission to use this material. Otherwise, you may certainly feel free to re-establish the article in your own language. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
