[edit] Utah State Bar

Delete. Essay about history of Utah state law. Also obvious copyvio, though I cannot find the source online. Generally UE. An article about Utah law is possible, though we don't have articles on any state's law/bar association. In any event, this one's not it. - CrazyRussian talk/email 03:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, appears to be a possible copyvio, the creator created all the text perfectly in one post, that seems rather odd. Prehaps a very toned down version could find a home around here. Yanksox ^(talk) 03:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, appears to be copyvio. Reads like WP:OR. --Coredesat talk 04:43, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete without prejudice as copyvio unless the author steps forward and releases it under the GDFL. If he does, strong keep: the subject is worthy of an article, and this text could be made encyclopedic with light editing. Smerdis of Tlön 14:06, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • The copyright holder is obviously the state of Utah and/or one of its administrative subdivisions. - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
    • It could be; it could also have been prepared for a bar association publication or magazine. If this is the case, republication rights probably are still held by the author, and if the author is the uploader, it wold be fine. We probably ought to identify, on a state by state basis, which states claim copyright in official publications as well. I know Indiana does not. Smerdis of Tlön 16:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite Poss. copyvio. State goverment copyright law varies. If it could be rewritten, sourced and such Keep Computerjoe's talk 15:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I don't think a state bar association deserves its own article, but there should definitely be a Law of Utah article concerning how Utah's laws compare and contrast with other states.--M@rēino 20:44, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
  • That's virtually impossible. Individual notable state legislative acts (Utah Constitutional Amendment 3, New York divorce law, e.g.) have articles, but an article that endeavors to compare the whole body of law state by state would be untenable. - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite and Rename into Utah State Bar Association, which is an actual notable organization. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 03:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep iff this can be written or text is released as GFDL. Yamaguchi先生 08:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite and Rename A state bar association ougth to bne notable. The presetn article has too much on the last 25 years and not enough on earlier history. Peterkingiron 23:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
