Copyvio and notability[edit]

Removed the following text added recently by User:Fairhavenadvocate, which appears to be copied wholesale from the bottom of this page: http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=PUB01.

History
In 1979, Gil Vieira first began publishing The Advocate, a weekly newspaper dedicated to the interests of Fairhaven. In the nearly 30 years that has passed since the newspaper first hit stands, the publication has grown to cover the town of Acushnet. Since the late 1990s The Advocate has been printed by Hathaway Publishing, which is dedicated to serving the interests of our thousands of readers in Fairhaven and Acushnet.
Mission
Our mission is simple: provide you with the news and information you need to know about in our two communities. We strive to tell you interesting stories about your friends, neighbors, children, community leaders, and businesses offering important goods and services. Everything from police logs to school menus and church suppers can be found on our pages every week. Now many of these offerings can be viewed on line 24-7 at http://advocate.southcoasttoday.com as well.

I also question the notability of this article. It's your average weekly newspaper and this article, even if the deleted information were re-added (properly cited, paraphrased), doesn't say much more than one can find already at Hathaway Publishing. _``` _W i k i _W i s t a h _``` 04:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
