[edit] WPVI-TV anchors

WPVI-TV anchors (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This page contains tons of copyright violations -- a large majority of the text was pulled straight from the WPVI website. The information is not notable enough to merit a stand-alone article, and should be partially merged into the station's main entry.

I am also nominating the following related pages for similar reasons:

WPVI-TV reporters (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
KYW-TV anchors and reporters (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
WCAU news team (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
WTXF-TV anchors (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
WTXF-TV reporters (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

  • I don't think you need AFD. Wikipedia:Copyright problems can tend to the copyright violations and you can do the merge (or request the merge) yourself through Wikipedia:Requested mergers. - Mgm|(talk) 15:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all While the WPVI-TV article is protected, copying of blocks of text from a station's website is either a copyvio or, more likely, corporate self-promotion. Frankly, even the residents of Philadelphia don't really want to know THAT much about the personalities on their ABC affilliate. Mandsford (talk) 18:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge relevant and non-copyright-violating information into WPVI-TV, KYW-TV, WCAU and WTXF-TV, and redirect, and for any of the people listed who are notable, give them their own pages and link to them from the main station page. DHowell (talk) 03:35, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'm taking the advice of MacGyverMagic and will go the WP:COPYVIO route. Rollosmokes (talk) 08:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
