  • Speedy delete as copyvio parts are copied from the Electric Scotland site, which would appear to make it a copyvio. Even if that's fixed, where are the sources ? Verifiability is a non-negotiable policy, and like most of these just-so-story clan articles, this article has no sources. Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:06, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm confused about the WP:copyvio concerns. This seems practically a stub right now. Unless I'm missing something, couldn't this two-sentence article be easily re-written to avoid copyvio concerns? And if it really is copyvio from the Electric Scotland site, isn't that a source then? I don't understand how this article fails both WP:copyvio and WP:V. Verifiable sources must be provided, but I'm inclined to think this article can easily be salvaged. Am I missing something?

Yes, I stubbed it after tagging it. The previous version was this. It is not all verbatim, but it is in parts and other parts are very close paraphrases:
| John joined the Jesuits and there is little doubt that he was ‘Jesuit Durie’
becomes
| John Durie joined the Jesuits and there is little doubt that he was ‘Jesuit Durie’
.
Changing one or two words does not make it original work. I asked the creator just now for an explanation re copyright status, we'll see. Verifiability means WP:RS. Angus McLellan (Talk) 17:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:COPY. Angusmclellan is right, changing one or two words does not negotiate copyvio. Killfest2—Daniel.Bryant 10:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
