Talk:T. C. McCarthy

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I will re-write it in my own words, despite the fact that the copyright holder posted the text themself. (your reason here) --Ultimatedriver (talk) 18:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are free to rewrite the article in your own words. The claim that the "copyright holder posted the text" appears to assume that the subject of the Writertopia profile (TC McCarthy) is the holder of the copyright of that profile. This is likely a false assumption, since the website itself claims copyright to the material, so once McCarthy posted it, he implicitly forfeit copyright claims to the material. (There is nothing in Writertopia's terms of service guaranteeing any copyright retention to posters at that site.) Regardless of this, the material also makes no claim to any particular notability for McCarthy, so unless the rewrite contains facts not already presented, the article is likely to be deleted on those grounds anyway.
