[edit] Cape Town 2004 Olympic bid

Seems to have been listed previously today, then creator made AfD page a redirect to original article. JackyR 14:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Any reason to delete? Kappa 14:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This is an ad for getting the olympics to come to Cape Town --Ruby 14:52, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep but rewrite, wikify, de-POVize, and check to make sure it isn't original research. I see no reason why this doesn't deserve an article. Aren't there other articles on Olympic bids? The fact this is an African bid also makes it somewhat notable. 23skidoo 15:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • It's a copyright violation, apparently of a 1995 Architectural Digest article, as linked from the bottom of the page. I'm flagging it as such. CDC (talk) 17:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep and rewrite, per Skidoo. I thought it said 'reproduced with permission'. Since I suspect this is by an organisation (User:Capetown2020 sounds corporate), they might indeed have permish. And it hardly counts as an advert for the 2004 Olympics in, er, 2006. Am trying to engage with the editor on their talk page, as if nothing else they are well informed about a region with far too few Wiki contributors. JackyR 23:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as copyvio and redirect to 2004 Summer Olympics bids. If anyone has any non-copyvio information to contribute, it can go in the latter article which could use some more content. --Metropolitan90 01:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - uh... think I'd go with Metropolitan90 here. Don't really think individual bids need their own articles, one page about bids per Games is sufficient. Delete current version as copyvio unless evidence is supplied that the copyright holder wishes to release it under GFDL (something I find highly unlikely), then create redirect. If such evidence is supplied, merge to 2004 Summer Olympics bids with massive pruning and NPOV checking. -- Jonel | Speak 01:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
