HAVEN Helpline – Speedy deletion endorsed. The one other opinion by DGG does not address the reason for the deletion, i.e., that the text is a copyright violation. Sandstein 07:08, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
each party who created the organization has a block quote, that describes the organization differently. The most that can be said is the deleter should have requested a delete of allowable quotes. #MeToo0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 21:49, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So this was a Speedy deletion as a copyright infringement. I'm not clear what you're asserting as an error here--was the text donated via a compatible license? Appropriately cited/fair use quotation? Jclemens (talk) 05:26, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse with full leave to re-start an article of substantially original work. Jclemens (talk) 02:04, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse apart from the one sentence History section the entire article consisted of copyrighted material in block quotes. Quotations from copyrighted sources are allowed here, but they have to be brief and they have to be used to illustrate a point (Wikipedia:Non-free content#Text). Quotation marks aren't a magic bullet which makes copyright problems go away, and you can't just copy loads of material from copyrighted sources and slap quotation marks around it. Removing the quoted material would have left the article as a one sentence stub with no context, so I think deletion was reasonable. If the OP wants that sentence back I'm sure we can oblige.

Deleting all the quotes would have left an article so short it would have been speedied under A1. Endorse without prejudice to creating a new copyright-compliant article. Stifle (talk) 08:47, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The only part not quoted is On 1 June 2019, ACTRA and the Directors Guild of Canada jointly launched HAVEN Helpline for members in Canada, with 24-7 support, out-sourced from Morneau Shepell, with additional financial support from AFBS and Telefilm Canada.[1][2], one wonders if it even qualifies as A7 [no claim of significance]. But yes, basing almost all of your article on text quoted from elsewhere is probably a copyright infringement, and quote marks do not make it OK.

We cannot draftify copyright violations, and the only line that was not a copyright violation has already been quoted above. Stifle (talk) 08:13, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
