With that in mind I think we lose very little by doing a RevDel and given the size of the infringement I've got rid of it following the advice at

A quick look at the current content also seems to show no problem as I'm only finding mirrors and pages that have obviously copied us. --Dpmuk (talk) 06:03, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
