• Minnesota's 2nd congressional district (history · last edit) from [1]. Blatant cut-and-paste from congressman's site.Blueboy96 05:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Only the introductory paragraph was a copyvio. The remainder of the article was original Wikipedia content. A proposed copyvio fix is here: Talk:Minnesota's 2nd congressional district/Temp.--G1076 00:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

If you look closely, [2] is a U.S. government site. The contents are public domain. That doesn't necessarily make it OK to copy and paste everything verbatim, but I don't think it is a copyvio. older ≠ wiser 01:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains (history · last edit)

  There have been two rather out of process deletion attempts on this article alleging a copyright violation from an unspecified source (other than the user believing it to be a recreation of the AFIs list). I deleted the article whilst considering the claim before restoring the article and removing the CSD-G12 tag, only to find the article has now been nominated for AfD, I have closed this and pointed the user here, however I thought I had best list this on their behalf. Personally, I've no opinion on this. -- Nick ^t 20:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Given that this is simply a list, plus the source is clearly acknowledged, I can't see how this can be a copyvio. This is only one of numerous similar list articles (at least one of which I recall survived a previous AFD challenge) that are listed at AFI 100 Years... series. I'm not sure why this one has been singled out. 23skidoo 03:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

For the AFD, WP:NPS refers. As far as copyvio goes, this is a transparent G12. The list was created by the AFI and "lists of items that are created entirely or primarily as a result of editorial opinion are subject to copyright protection". That's from Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 March 13 re 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs). Either it should have been AFD'd and deleted as NOT material, or it should have been speedied per G12. Either way it should be gone. Page blanked and {{copyvio}} reapplied. Also tagged {{db-copyvio}}. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Since it's a copy/paste job from a copyrighted web page (I checked the page myself), it's an obvious G12. If the list itself is notable, then someone may want to write an article about the list, but the version in question comprises just the list. As a result, I've speedied the article. As noted above, I wouldn't object if someone wanted to write about the list and its relative importance to the industry, etc. - assuming the list is notable. Rklawton 00:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
