Article is recreation of deleted material.[1] It was originally speedily deleted as copyright violation of http://www.myers2008.org/about. It was recreated and is obviously almost identical to his campaign site except that it has been changed to third person. This therefore violates speedy deletion criteria G12 and is close to G4, but someone removed my G12 tag claiming it was not a violation. Reywas92^Talk 02:10, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy delete copyvio. So tagged. By the way, G4 only applies to pages that have been deleted via deletion discussion (unlike this article). Ice Cold Beer (talk) 02:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Right. I realized that when creating this that only AFD applies. That's why I used "close to". I just wanted to point that out. Reywas92^Talk 17:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy delete for copyright violation. And even were it not so, Wikipedia is not facebook and this guy doesn't qualify notability. Trusilver 03:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
• Comment The New York Times article is suggestive of notability, as are the various positions this guy has apparently held. I'm not much up to speed on how copyright violations are handled, but if notability is demonstrable couldn't the article just be stubbed back? No point throwing it away just because we disagree with the methods of the person who added it. Ryan Paddy (talk) 03:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

To Ryan and Kleenup, I would agree that he's notable. He's running for congress and had all the Ryan White stuff, so I'd disagree about salting it yet. But today's the priamary for the United States House of Representatives elections in Indiana, 2008, so we'll soon find out if he'll be the Democratic nominee and likely winner.

• Speedy delete as apparent copyvio and salt as re-creation of deleted article. KleenupKrew (talk) 10:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
