[edit] Assertion of deletion

In short, why not have the article? The band does exist, they are a proper band in all respects. Their debut album is out, available on amazon, they have their own site, page on myspace, and music can be found on pandora, as well as having received radio play. These are surely reasons enough for the existence of the article. They are a new band, still growing, so a simple short article is not reason enough to delete, and I have added a request for expansion. There are many other articles with little substance or purpose here, including ones about lesser known bands (especially given the time some have existed). Yet these do not get the speedy deletion tag. Ultimately many, many bands could be said to not need a page on wikipeida, to not be significant enough, but the band exists just as much as any other band. I myself searched wikipedia for it because I wanted to know more about them, and found no article, so it is reasonable to assume others may well do the same, searching this site for answers and finding none. What I have provided is some basic information, and more can very easily be added. I can see no harm in the article existing, only potential usefullness, and as such cannot myself see sufficient reason for it's deletion. Prophaniti 18:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Fine. I pulled the delete tag on the grounds that they've toured Europe. You better put that in the article or someone will tag it again, though. Herostratus 20:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] General

Good that this article hasn't been deleted. This is a band that looks like it is going somehwere with a couple of major tours coming in 2007. Their debut album has gained numerous strong reviews worldwide and they are garnering a fairly decent sized fan base. For a new band they also have strong support from Craig Goldie of Dio and have started to get a number of invitations to major rock/metal festivals including inernational ones.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Benedictum Logo.png

Image:Benedictum Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 01:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
