[edit] About your article

Hi there! Thanks for your message. Your article will have been deleted for meeting the exclusion criterion known as CSD-A7 (see WP:CSD and look for articles, criterion number 7). It will have met CSD-A7 because it doesn't meet the inclusion criteria at WP:BAND.

If you think it reaches the latter criteria, please let me know. You could, of course, create the article in your userspace - here for example - and ask for it to be moved once you've finished. Because we're an encyclopedia, we're often quite strict on the inclusion of articles about bands or albums that can't argue that they subject is notable.

Hope this helps. REDVEЯS 21:51, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think, per se, that there's an issue with the notability of the band itself. It's more a question of whether the albums all need their own articles (artciles that just list tracks aren't articles - they're just lists of tracks). As for proving notability of albums, the existance of the album isn't notability - you need to quote sources that say why the album is important. If the only source is the album itself, it isn't a reliable source for notability. But for what's written on an album, yeah, you can quote that (not just reprint the entire thing) and source it by creating a ==References== section and putting something like ''Album name'' cover notes, X record company, 12 March 1945 in it. Does that make sense? REDVEЯS 22:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:London glasgow.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:London glasgow.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
