Yes, because it's intended as temporary. If the passage turns out not to be
a copyright violation (in some of these, the person whose page it was found on
is the person who put it on Wikipedia, and wrote it, so they can release it to
us under the GFDL), it can be restored. If it's confirmed as a violation, 
it should
be deleted from the talk page as well.
