[edit] A Wilhelm Scream (band)

Deletion Nomination Suspected of advertising/original research due to pervasive POV throughout article coupled with vanity nature of page and lack of reference for information that includes multiple quotes attributed to band members. (Listed link to fansite www.mute-print.com is now a browser redirect to the band's official website, the other listed link.) The Literate Engineer 07:04, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and Cleanup, although a borderline case per WP:MUSIC. Band has toured the whole U.S. and Japan, they've got a slot on the 2005 Warped Tour and their label Nitro Records is not insignificant. Most of the ad-type stuff is straight copy from the label's press release, which may be copyvio. (Sorry, I still haven't gotten it straight whether press releases qualify as copyvio listings.) I like that their music "keeps the listener on the edge of their seats" since hardcore punk audiences are well-known for staying seated during shows. . . . . . . Soundguy99 07:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Band is notable and warrants an article, but this is not it. Aecis 09:26, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment it's a cut and paste from [1]. Not sure if the anon author has permission. JamesBurns 10:29, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Does that mean I need to withdraw the deletion nomination and send it over to the Copyright Problems page for them to sort out (after which it's either deleted or gets shipped over to Cleanup for encyclopedizing)? The Literate Engineer 21:45, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • No, just place a copyvio tag on it and list it at copyright problems if you feel it violates copyright. Leave the VfD tag on if they decide it isnt. JamesBurns 06:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable band. Pretty good, too. I cleaned it up a bit. --Tothebarricades 00:53, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as meeting Wikimusic Project guidelines providing it is not a copyvio. Capitalistroadster 01:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I'm changing my vote (withdrawing my nomination?) due to edits by Tothebarricades. The Literate Engineer 02:05, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
