I'm am a bit cautious but this articles looks to be copyvio from http://www.focusindiagroup.in/content/nagaon.aspx Night of the Big Wind talk 12:33, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

  • keep but remove blatant copyvio: [http://toolserver.org/~dcoetzee/duplicationdetector/compare.php?url1=https%3A%2F%2Fsecure.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fen%2Fwiki%2FNagaon&url2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.focusindiagroup.in%2Fcontent%2Fnagaon.aspx&minwords=2&minchars=13 duplication detector results]. the copyvio seems to have been added [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Nagaon&diff=331377409&oldid=329662397 mostly all at once] by an ip editor, although by this point it will take some work to get rid of it without messing up good faith edits. however, i'm thinking keep because of Wikipedia:Notability (geography) and the fact that the place exists. the fact that some misguided soul decided to copy/paste a bunch of stuff doesn't mean that we don't need an article on an existing location. general consensus regarding geography says that we do need this article. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 13:46, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

  • keep This is a prominent place, so the article should be kept, but the copyrighted material should be deleted. Chaipau (talk) 16:33, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment Now I had more time to look at it, it appeared to be even worse. After the removal of the copyvio from "Focusindiagroup", I also had to remove copyvio from [http://www.assaminfo.com/districts/20/nagaon.htm Assaminfo] and [http://nagaon.nic.in/hist.html Official website Nagaon].

  • It is still a very bad article, but I think it can be reworked now to a proper form. Should we speedy close the AfD?? Night of the Big Wind talk 20:15, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I could go for that. I think it might be good to just delete everything without a citation, and just leave the standard stuff that appears in place articles. there are plenty of them that have nothing more than a sentence saying that the place exists. — alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 20:26, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep/Close - Whenever we come across a situation of an obviously notable subject (at a 1/4 million population, this has got to be the largest city, town or village I've ever seen thrown up for AfD) with mostly copyright violation content, it's best to simply delete the content and write a basic stub. Takes a few minutes. --Oakshade (talk) 03:16, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I was cautious because in the limited time I had available, I could not find out who was copying from who. It won't be the first time that something looks copyvio, only to find out that they had copied Wikipedia without attribution. Better safe then sorry.

  • Such problems are best addressed by following the instructions at Wikipedia:CP#Suspected or complicated infringement. AfD is not equipped to handle copyvios effectively. —SpacemanSpiff 07:31, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
