I shortened the page. Now it is not in violation of copyright infrigement. Someone may please take the deletion tag off this page. XxTimberlakexx (talk) 23:04, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Timberlake. The article still violated copyright because it appeared to be taken verbatim from the PBS interview. To correct this, I re-wrote it. Since it no longer violates copyright, I removed the Speedy Deletion notice. I also added a couple of references. However, because it has very few sources, the article is still likely to be challenged under the Wikipedia:Notability policy. To avoid further attempts at deletion, I'd recommend adding more sources to the article. Take a look at how I added sources, and refer to Wikipedia:Reliable Sources guidelines for more advice.
