The article is currently listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2012 May 23. I don't believe it qualifies as a copyright violation (other than the technical sense, that the attribution isn't sufficient) as the source is licensed CC-BY_SA, and a cursory review of the source history suggests it wasn't simply copied and pasted from another place.
The article has no references, which can be fixed, but it is written In-universe, contrary to MOS, and, IMO, would take as much work to rewrite as it would to start from scratch.
My specific suggestion is to userfy (and no-index) the article to the primary contributor, so that the editor can look into whether some portions might be merged elsewhere, or a new article should be written in an acceptable perspective. SPhilbrick(Talk) 18:10, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
It should be noted that an attempted was made to convert this to a redirect, but it was reverted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nathan_Hale_%28Resistance%29&diff=next&oldid=492752365 here]. That may still be an option, but it clearly was opposed.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 18:23, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
:No, it was not "clearly opposed". That editor is a persistent vandal which has a dynamic IP and has been repeatedly asked to discuss and blocked. CyanGardevoir (used EDIT!) 06:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
::By clearly opposed, I mean it was reverted, so not accepted by at least one editor. I didn't use the word consensus; apologies if that was implied. It may still be the right option; I simply wanted to point out that we cannot simply do that and be done with it, there needs to be a consensus.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 01:59, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

- Delete: can't find any third party sources to WP:verify notability. (The copyright issue would be reason to delete it too, but the lack of sources is why it shouldn't be re-created, at least until something big changes.) Shooterwalker (talk) 15:00, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
