[CLOSED] Licensing request for article removal

Licensing request for article removal

CityToast 07 Dec 2021 18:00

CCK Class "Copyright Infringement Secnario"

After some internal discussion with Licensing over backlogged items, the Licensing team is requesting administration to utilize fiat to remove this article as a potentially immediately harmful content, the continued inclusion of which is a liability for the Wiki as a whole, and which violated content guidelines and the Wiki License at the time of its posting.

Edit: After talking with the user, and some discussion, we've been able to connect with the author and put together a better solution that wouldn't require the article to necessarily be deleted. Please consider this request withdrawn.

Noting this has my approval; and that a further thread detailing future plans for crossover articles and the necessary powers required will be posted later today.

As per the edit this request has been withdrawn which is fine and I'm glad this has come to an amicable conclusion - or is heading in that direction, anyway. Regardless -

which violated content guidelines […] at the time of its posting.

Is this actually correct? I mean, the Licensing Guide doesn't seem to address this topic at all (being geared more for offsite creators) and the Image Use policy exclusively uses the terms media and images, when this matter is about the textual content of the article. Hell I think there's a clause in the Site Rules explicitly allowing people to borrow "narrative or character content from other works" so long as there's no attempt to deceive. I'm not necessarily saying that we shouldn't have some sort of policy in this vein - but for now, [citation needed].

There was extensive discussion about this request in staff chat. It was determined that staff acclamation did not exist for fiat to be executed. It was also general consensus that this should be executed as a regular policy discussion to better define how Licensing should handle copyright/other issues in articles. Administration lent its support to ensuring that policy process was sufficiently resourced and could go smoothly.
