The article wasn't deleted because it was unreferenced, though that would also have sufficed to tag it for deletion, but due to copyright concerns: It was a close paraphrase of this website. We cannot reinstate copyright violations. See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to cite sources. Huon (talk) 17:30, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

The article on Facebook is lifted directly from the daily telegraph obituary . Mine used this as a source and amended it (for example he didn't fly with 895 Squardon) as well as this source . If the basic facts of his life are recorded the same, in the same order, I fail to understand how this is plagiarism. Wbarnato (talk) 05:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC)WBarnato

The issue isn't plagiarism but copyright violation. Whether you violated the copyright of whoever wrote the Facebook page or of the Telegraph does not make a significant difference, and citing the source also doesn't allow you to reproduce or to closely paraphrase it.
