As a copyright violation, Dale McBride appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Dale McBride has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

You and GMVNASHVILLE (clearly these two accounts are the same person) have repeatedly recreated this article with copyrighted material from:

• http://www.gmvnashville.com/artist.php
• http://www.dalemcbride.com
• http://www.recordjock.com/ht/dale_mcbride.htm

each of whom claim copyright to the same text. It is not our job to sort out which of these sites actually has the copyright, but since several claim it there's no practical way to freely license it or to place it in the public domain.

Since the copyrighted text must be removed and there was no non-copyrighted text in the article's history, I deleted the article. In addition, I have protected the article from recreation to prevent you and/or others from placing copyrighted material into Wikipedia.

You may write a new, original article on McBride in your user space, in a subpage – for example, User:GMVNASHVILLE/McBride. When it is complete, contact me or another admin to review it. If it's not a blatant copyright violation and isn't written in the non-encyclopedic tone of a fan page, we will remove the protection and use the new content as a new Dale McBride article.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. If you continue to introduce copyrighted material into Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Thank you. - KrakatoaKatie 22:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
