I've added a reference to an encyclopedia article on Bonny Norton (Higgins, 2011), but it's still suggested that it be deleted. Why?

I screwed up. See my reply to your question here [1]. Jbh ^Talk 23:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An Encyclopedia is still not an especially good source. Per WP:RS, you want solid secondary sources, rather than primary or tertiary ones. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 10:12, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jbmurray and Jbhunley: While the quality of the sources maybe bad, there are some better sources that have described the importance of this subject.[2][3] OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 09:50, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Jbh ^Talk 10:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of those are good sources: the first is merely the author's blurb (which is most usually written by the author him or herself); the second is simply a link to a co-authored article by Bonny Norton. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 00:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would not object to AfD if nothing better can be found. Jbh ^Talk 01:13, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

January 2016

This line from the article is directly taken from a paper "Identity and a Model of Investment in Applied Linguistics" By Ron Darvin and Bonny Norton " In this view, learners can be highly motivated to learn a language, but may not necessarily be invested in the language practices of a given classroom or community if their practices are, for example, racist or sexist. " — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.207.160.147 (talk) 13:15, 2 January 2016

There appear to be several of the same phrases or sentences in this article and that paper. I'm not sure if it's a copyright violation, or simply overzealous quoting. The Darvin & Norton paper is cited here. I've blanked the section 'Key ideas' and raised the issue at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2018 August 31 in order to be abundantly cautious.
