And I agree with David, this really looks like you're just searching for any excuse you can get to get rid of that list. Copyvio and OR are almost diametrically opposed to each other as reasons to delete something; copyvio means it's a direct copy of something creative that someone else came up with and OR means it's something creative that was come up with ''de novo''. They can't both be true. Accusing this stuff of being both in the same message seems like you're just throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks.
I read Guy's argument to be "if collating the information is creative, it's original research; if it's not, it's a copyright infringement; either way, delete".
Which is reasonable.
The counter-argument is for how it can be non-creative and exempt from copyright. I don't have that argument.
