I have some interest to keep this text and probably redistribute it via my userpage or at some website, always under the terms of GFDL. However, the author is anonymous and his/her talkpage contains a message by snoyes regarding vandalism. So, I am afraid there is a high probability this text to be a copyright violation or something similar. How can I be assured it is really licensed under GFDL and what should I do before trying to re-publish it? Optim 05:20, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Well, according to the Internet, Altaf Fatima is an Urdu poet who was born in 1929, so I doubt that her works are in the public domain. RickK 05:38, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the info! Optim 05:53, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I breathe, I love, I feel. Those fundamental truths seem to lead me on in a sea of hesitant motion. For it is with such ideas that one can no longer be free, free of obstruction and malice. But I do yearn for the thought of another day, another time, another place. Yes, that is freedom, freedom of the kind that has no boundaries, rather it involves the soul from it's history.

The text above was moved into the talk page by Optim. Probably some poem by Altaf Fatima. If someone thinks it is ok to have it in the article, you can move it back. Optim 06:30, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] VfD

  • Altaf Fatima - It may be beautiful, but it says nothing. Darkcore 05:08, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete. Probably a copyright violation. From the talk page: Well, according to the Internet, Altaf Fatima is an Urdu poet who was born in 1929, so I doubt that her works are in the public domain. RickK 05:38, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC) - Optim 06:25, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Not a vote. I replaced the poem with a stub article, and I moved the poem to the talk page. 73 Google hits. So, I supoose that now any votes to keep or delete it will have to do mostly with whether she is famous enough or not. Optim 06:33, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Not a vote. Only one of her books appears to be popular enough (in the UK) to be listed on Amazon and be widely available. LOC has some more of her books list in their catalog.
    • New article is sub-stub. Put on Cleanup and delete if not improved. Andre Engels 13:18, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep - needs cleanup - Texture 16:11, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. Anthony DiPierro 17:46, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
