Deletion of copyrighted material, April 5, 2006

[edit]

This is just a short explanation of why I pretty much gutted this article just now.

The text of this article did not read like an encyclopedia article, much less one written by a layperson. Instead, it seemed to be lifted from an "industry" source.

A quick Google search revealed that the text seemed to originate from the William Morris Agency web site at the following URLs: [1] and [2]. The second link is a PDF with the full text.

When I discovered this evidently proprietary publicity material, I immediately deleted it.

I also checked out the history, and found that it was placed here by User:Scrot, who has no user page and who has exclusively posted mellowdrone-related material ([[3]]). Maybe Scrot is just an overenthusiastic fan, or maybe s/he is a "guerrilla marketer" trying to pass off PR as a Wikipedia article. I don't know.

But that's the story in a nutshell. --User:Dablaze 07:07, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
