Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because...

This criterion applies only in unequivocal cases, where there is no free-content material on the page worth saving

Although the article largely draws from the CANDLE's website article, it is not an exact copy, evidence that users have read this original text and either added or subtracted to it to make it more encyclopaedic. I also note there is a reference section of 20 references, where only two link to the CANDLES website, which indicates the articles body has been supplemented by information from other sources. There is extra free content in the article that is not featured on the CANDLE article, such as the "Works" section.

Per WP:G12, one could argue the biography of notable holocaust survivor would be public domain. The article's history is not "unsalvageably corrupted" and could be rectified by a much-needed copy edit.

Admittedly it's been a long while since I edited wikipedia, but back in my day speedy deletions where only used for articles/stubs that were complete gibberish or not even articles. I can see this article was created back in January 2011 and has had over 100 edits. At the very least this should be sent to 'Articles for deletion' instead --Ryan4314 (talk) 17:46, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
