Notability concerns

Aside from the digisoul article, are there any other newspaper or magazine article references which can be added to this page, to confirm that the group is genuinely notable, per Wikipedia:Notability (music)? --Elonka 21:09, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I originally created the Wiki RAMP page, and the sources I used are as follows...

http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Ramp.html (and the digisoul article which is in the links.)

As for the comment about the band's name, I was told this in an email from John Manuel, drummer and bandleader of RAMP, whom I contacted after creating the page. He can be contacted on john.manuel@yahoo.com

I also saw the band play a live gig in London in 2006, and the articles on their myspace page proves them to be actively touring again at present. Sunshinebwoy 14:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Rampknow.jpg

Image:Rampknow.jpg 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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
