The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it. |
Inappropriate use of WP:G12. The stated reason for the deletion was a copyvio from www.leagle.com, but that was just a reprint of a SCOTUS decision. As had already been explained in the review comments, SCOTUS decisions, as works of the US government, are not copyrighted. When Energynet queried RHaworth about the deletion on his talk page, the response was that, the basic problem is that reproducing the court's judgement does not make a Wikipedia article. We need an article about that judgement, not the text itself. That may be true, but the fact that an article is badly written isn't a WP:CSD. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:57, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
I believe that RHaworth is missing a major point here. I deleted the entire segment under question when I saw the warning and then filed a protest as posted in the box. My protest and the fact that I deleted the section in concern was done prior to deletion! How is this fair that my protest and deletion of the section of concern are now gone as evidence? I also lost over two hours of additional work attempting to build up a response to the final concern on the piece not related to the copyright concern that I was also trying to sort out at the teahouse! Lastly, in direct reply to Rhaworth's demand that I have not produced a copy of the decision from a .gov site, is because I have not found one to post, nor was I told that this was what was needed to stop your deletion.

a response to Cryptic. I have almost no idea about the terminology you are using, but the [2] reference in original piece that you mention came from a 1938 Library of Congress newspaper article that I thought was in public domain, and was using in quotes as the only piece at that moment (I believe this was my 2nd or 3rd attempted rewrite) and was only my third citation I'd found at that early point. When this also became controversial - I used parts of the quote to form the first paragraph to summarize the decision, and then just a link to the LOC reference - it was a lot different when done. The original intent was clearly not to plagiarize but to quote directly... Energynet ( talk) 05:50, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
