And you are wrong. That would apply if I AfD'd the article, but what I said was that the list is, in my view, copyvio, we can give some examples from each category but we should not repeat in its entirety a list which is the creative work of someone else.
Here's what you wrote in your initial email on this subject (at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2007-April/067483.html):
Original research? You decide. Copyright? I think so, but what do I know? Fancruft? Ooooh, tricky :-)
The smiley on the fancruft question implies that you're being sarcastic, so you don't in fact find it to be a tricky question. I guess that could mean that you think it's obviously _not_ fancruft, but I somehow doubt that. Why even bring it up if that was the case?
