SPUI has repeatedly tagged http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sbekele as a copyvio of http://www.cbsintl.com/people.htm. I refused to speedy it on that basis, so SPUI blanked it and added the copyvio template. Sbekele self-identifies as Sophia Bekele, CEO of CBS International, and therefore presumably the copyright owner. Since this is user space, and the content is an "about us" bio, not commercial content, I think that blanking and deletion are a bit excessive. On the other hand, copyright is copyright I guess. What does the panel think?
This uninformed panel member thinks that people have a general right to upload photos of themselves to their user pages.
