G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.voice.pk/?p=1939
Through speedy deletion, the article Twenty Two Points of Ulema, was deleted. The allegation made is that it was “Unambiguous copyright infringement" of “http://www.voice.pk/?p=1939”. I strongly feel that the material I placed in the article is not “ copyright infringement” of any sort (including G12) and thus it does not become a valid candidate for deletion. I explain my viewpoint here:

The “22 points” is not copyrighted material. It is not even an intellectual property of the website “http://www.voice.pk”. The website has reproduced it only beacause it is an importat document of the political history of Pakistan.
As explained in the introduction of the article, 22 points were actually a demand made from the representative Ulema of all the Muslim sects of Pakistan. This demand was presented to the first constituent assembly of Pakistan, regarding drafting and adopting the constitution for Pakistan.
As far as my understanding is concerned such demands, by their very nature, are public properties and never considered as copyrighted material.
22 points demand was presented to constituent assembly in 1950, and is a historical document. Its importance regarding the evolution of the constitutional process in Pakistan makes it a proper choice to be part of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia already rightly contains such historical documents, for example Fourteen Points of Jinnah. It is a 14 point demand made by Jinnah from the then British government of India. Like this document, my document is also not copyrighted, on the rational I explained above.
I hope my arguments will be cinsidered and I will be allowed to reconstruct the page. [[User:Bhaur|Bhaur]] ([[User talk:Bhaur|talk]]) 04:32, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
