I will like to ask your help in beginning proceedings to have the wiki article of Dr. Thomas Mensah totally deleted from Wikipedia and done as soon as possible.
This is because the page still comes up whenever you browse his name and it has that copyright tag there but displays nothing whatsover of his biography and achievements. Since Wikipedia is not displaying the bio of his work and achievements then I will ask that it deletes the page completely and his name off their servers as well because that tag implicating copyright issues is in itself defamatory to his character as a highly respected member of the global academic and scientific society.
If any one has an address to forward this request to then that will be greatly appreciated, else I say we do what we can as soon as we possibly can to see to the complete removal of Dr. Thomas Mensah from Wikipedia if they do not want his article there, rather than keep his name there and that of Rocky Dawuni under such defamatory circumstances.
I am open to whatever ideas anyone might have in seeing to the resolution of the above because Wikipedia or some editors there said it was going to take a week to resolve since the above page a were tagged for deletion on March 6, 2015 and it's been almost half a month now and they have not been completely removed: I speak as a concerned Ghanaian on this matter.
Thank you,
Oral Ofori

Excuse me ? So... you suggest that *I* do the clean-up of the article to remove the copyvios that *YOU* guys added in it... and *THEN* hand it to you to improve ? Or do you suggest that *I* go around look for some editors to improve the article ?
This is not what is going to happen... If YOU guys want this article to exist, wet your shirt ;)

Ok Florence, let me know when that Rocky becomes a substantial non-cooyvio so I delve into it and add a few touches to beef it up while I cross my fingers for some hope about the Thomas Mensah one too.
Thanks, Oral

That's temporary. I will redelete it afterwards.
Guys, if you want to recreate a new article using the non copyvio parts of this one, please do so in an intermediary space. Thanks

Hi
I copy pasted the entire text in my email two days ago Rupert... You just need to copy paste it anywhere you feel it is best (online or not online).

Otherwise... with a quick study of what is going on about the deletion spree, it seems that...
- in all articles, chunks are indeed copyvios. The chunks are smaller
or bigger depending on each case.
- in many cases, the article is blanked in its entirety, then deleted.
Looks like it is a bit overkill to me. I see not why at least a stub could be kept.
