[edit] Speedy Deletion Disputed

This article was tagged for speedy deletion minutes after its creation. (I believe this is part of the rampant bullshit deletionist campaign plaguing Wikipedia. This is the only time I will mention that). I have added links to articles on them and their website. They sell out shows regularly and attract a crowd of celebrity guests. They've been featured on the cover of All Access Magazine, an L.A. print mag about local live music. They also are said to have won the award for "Best Tribute Band" by that magazine in their annual music awards, but I can't find a listing of the awards anywhere, other than to notice that the awards (and that category) do exist [1], so I cited their website, on which I found the claim. If anyone requires further documentation, google "metal skool - there's 60,200 sources for you. ---Matthew Cieplak ^{(talk) (edits)} 09:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Album Cover image (fair use?)

I added the band's album cover as the band image, knowing full well that many low-res album covers appear on WP. However, I know someone's going to say it's not fair use because it doesn't illustrate the album in question. Well there is no article for the album. Make one yourself if it means that much to you. I looked around for decent copyright-free images of the band and couldn't find any except some terrible cameraphone shots. Tomorrow I'll find some official promo materials that we can use fairly, in the abscence of non-fair-use stuff. If anyone else wants to take a crack, there's a few thousand photos here, most of which seem to be copyrighted explicitly. ---Matthew Cieplak ^{(talk) (edits)} 10:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
