I don't see the problem. Why doesn't he just write a new article at 
[[Prem Rawat/Temp]]? Isn't that the correct way of doing this? Let him 
know that he's perfectly entitled to use parts of the existing article 
(the source code of which he can easily access), but should be aware 
that it's not wise to use the parts that are unter controversy. :)
