[edit] Daft Punk Expansion

Translation of an article from a student magazine about rumours surrounding Daft Punk. WP is not a crystal ball. Article misnamed. Could easily be one sentence in the main article. Possible copyvio, too. Delete kingboyk 01:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC) I think there's good reason to imagine it is a copyright violation, but if that's going to be focussed on rather than the merits or otherwise of the article it would be prudent of me to strike out that 'charge'. --kingboyk 03:23, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Could you please name the website it is a copyvio of? --M@thwiz2020 02:34, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Possible copyvio, and not everything comes from the web. It's a direct translation of a magazine article ("Translated from Le Résumé Bat Student times"), which one might reasonably assume is subject to copyright! However, that's not the key point on which I am proposing it for deletion and I'm happy to strike out that point if it's going to complicate things. The point is, it's entirely speculative and at best is a merge without redirect, not being on a topic important enough for a seperate article, imho. --kingboyk 03:22, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. If Daft Punk adds new members and we have reliable verifiable sources to confirm this, it should be covered in the Daft Punk article. This however is based on rumours reported in a student newspaper which does not meet the standards in Wikimedia:Cite sources. Capitalistroadster 03:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
