Why is this page a candidate for deletion? Craigie was a significant pioneer in the British film industry; much more than a "political wife." Normally she is in film reference books, see Brian MacFarlane's "Encyclopedia of British Film".
- It looks like this page has been worked on since the speedy-deletion tag was added. I've removed the tag now. Stephen Turner 15:48, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- This article was clearly sourced from the Jill Craigie biography written by Sarah Easen for the Screenonline site (http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/581828/), which is copyright of the British Film Institute. Although some minor changes have been made (mostly cuts), the structure, content and even the wording of several sentences is essentially identical, and goes far beyond any possible definition of "fair use". Furthermore, the author has not been credited as the source, and neither has a link been offered to her work. I therefore suggest deleting the bulk of this piece and replacing it with a link to the original article - which, being longer than the plagiarised version, will hopefully prove more valuable to your readers.
I've reverted to the pre-copyvio version, per wp:cp. Please remember, copyrights extend to derivitive works. --Duk 01:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- I seem to remember that she was married to the novellist Jeffrey Dell before she met foot in 1945 while filming The Way We Live in Plymouth, which would explain her being credited as Jill Dell on The Flemish Farm. I can't find any references to hand, though. LDGE (16 June 2006)
