[edit] 2007/08 Premier League Results

2007/08 Premier League Results (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There is no need to have a page detailing the results of every Premier League game for the 2007-08 season. The resulting page would be huge, and it is also a violation of the Premier League's copyright over their fixture lists. - PeeJay 17:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Very crufty and Wikipedia is not a sports almanac Rackabello 17:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete' Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Blueboy96 18:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to the copyright issues. I'm sure we deleted monthly result lists several months ago, and this is no different. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 19:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a webhost. --Edokter (Talk) 19:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 20:11, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Un-needed concept, and a terrible article to boot. Copyright violations, fair use violations, the spelling, just UGH! - fchd 20:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete CSD G12?. There is a copyright infringement issue here. Wikipedia is not immune from copyright litigation and this should be speedy deleted. --Malcolmxl5 20:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete, no content whatsoever (and possible copyright infringement). --Angelo 21:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment sports results are a matter of fact, and therefore, no matter how much the sports associations that arrange the matches might complain otherwise, are not copyrightable. JulesH 22:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Reply - Tell that to the Premier League then. We're here to debate the validity of this article, not copyrightability of sports fixtures. - PeeJay 22:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment Seriously, this is a copyright infringement. It's the fixture lists that are copyright - see this - and the Premier League is very hot on this issue (though what leverage they'd have on a website outside the UK is another question). Regardless, this should be a speedy G12, and I've tagged it as such. Note that once played, the results are copyright-free. ELIMINATORJR ^TALK 22:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the speedy tag; The page in itself is not a copyvio, and hence does not fall under the G12 criteria. Once an article is listed for AfD, it can only be speedy-deleted with a valid reason, and you should not try to derail or speed up the proces to further you point. --Edokter (Talk) 23:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

It is as blatant a copyright violation as you could ever get. I don't understand your point at all here. ELIMINATORJR ^TALK 23:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe it is, maybe not. Fact is, you should not have replaced the tag: Once removed, the next step is AfD, where it already is. The closing admin always has the option of speedy-deleting it. --Edokter (Talk) 23:16, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  AfD is not a !vote. Please provide some rationale. --Edokter (Talk) 23:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
