Adhik Shirodkar

This entire article is clearly a copyright violation, as it is copied and pasted from the official obituary published by the Rajya Sabha, India's upper house of parliament (language such as "Shri Adhik Shirodkar represented the State of Maharashtra in this House" is a dead giveaway). The official obituary is not available online so the article was rejected for speedy deletion. Ahecht (TALK

Keep, Rajya Sabha members pass WP:POLITICIAN. Would be extremely easy to rewrite to remove the copyvio. --Soman (talk) 15:57, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, I have rewritten the article now, so I'd ask that the nomination be withdraw. As a general comment, I'd say that it takes about the same time to do a quick rewrite as to launch a AfD. --Soman (talk) 16:29, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
