Speedy deletion request[edit]

Drchriswilliams, I've declined the request because I couldn't see where the copyright violation was. I see that you removed text recently, so perhaps it was there. Can you be more specific? SarahSV ^(talk) 16:41, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SlimVirgin: This article had been through AfC, so when I noticed the first copyvio my initial inclination was to remove some of the offending material. As I did this it progressively became more apparent that the entire article was essentially created by copy-and-pasting from three copyrighted sources. A few other sources were mentioned. Although I removed offending material, there was essentially nothing left except for a definition and an infobox. I feel that rather than proceed to a revdel request, the more appropriate approach would be WP:TNT. Drchriswilliams (talk) 16:47, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A brief look is not returning reliable sources, and that building doesn't look like a hospital. Pinging SSTflyer who moved it out of draft space. SSTflyer, we're wondering whether this is a viable article. SarahSV ^(talk) 16:59, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at this source. there's some interesting history there, and a link to hospital records, so a short article could be developed. SarahSV ^(talk) 17:20, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm not questioning whether a viable article could be created, I'm observing that blatant copyright violation has occurred and I'm suggesting that an appropriate course of action would be to start again without being encumbered by deep-rooted problems.

I apologize for not checking for copyright violations, which I somehow forgot to do while attempting to return to AfC. This is clearly a notable topic and should at least be kept as a stub. SST flyer 13:09, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, SSTflyer, I've revdeleted the revisions with copyvios, and left the stub. Perhaps others will develop it. SarahSV ^(talk) 16:49, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
