The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that when Clam Lake Canal freezes over early in the Michigan winter, the lakes on each side remain unfrozen, but when the lakes later freeze over, the canal thaws and flows once more?
Current status: Delisted good article

Result: Delist - concerns about close paraphrasing, and accuracy. Iazyges may attempt complete rebuild.—Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:52, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
One of Doug Coldwell's noms (see WP:DCGAR), that I intend to run through GAR to preserve it from suffering from the mass delisting. IazygesConsermonorOpus meum 07:01, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Notes:
There are (at least) four newspaper.com sources that need to be individually checked, verified, and reviewed for copyvio.
Why are there three different citations to the same visitors bureau? That is, are we citing old info that has changed?
Given the issues, I think a complete rebuilding in my userspace might be the best way to go TBH. IazygesConsermonorOpus meum 17:42, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Iazyges, I assume that means you wouldn't mind delisting here? If the article is built up from scratch, a new GAN would be more appropriate. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:37, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Femke: Sounds good; happy to delist it now and I'll re-run it through GAN later. For what it's worth, this one doesn't seem to have copyright issues so much as sourcing, and misunderstanding of sources. IazygesConsermonorOpus meum 19:46, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Until all of the Newspapers.com sources have been evaluated, this article can't be cleared at the CCI. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:41, 15 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Reverted to last version before copyvio; still checking newspaper sources, not done. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
