Confusion

What do Lynx and Lamb Gaede have to do with Girl Authority? Can someone enlighten me for a sec? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.241.58.253 (talk) 14:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC). Not true at all they rock Unsigned[reply]

Noteworthy?

Doesn't wikipedia have a policy that music artists must have at least 2 albums or have achieved a certain amount of popularity? This is a rather new act and they seem to be somewhat obscure, so I don't see why they deserve their own encyclopedia article already. Anyone second my suggestion to delete? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.241.58.253 (talk) 14:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

No, the article should NOT be deleted. Although Girl Authority don't have a second album, here are a few reasons why the article should not be deleted, according to WP MUSIC:

It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.. The band were written up in The Boston Globe, Billboard.com, etc.

Has had a charted hit on any national music chart. The group's album did land on Billboard's top 200.

Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). Although they haven't released a second album, the band are signed to Zoe Records, a notable record label with other notable musicians.

Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show.The group did a theme song for Club Libby Lu, a national chain of stores for young girls.

And secondly, there are plenty of musicians here that have recorded one album, yet they are notable, such as Cassie, who only released one album so far in her career. Girl Authority have already reached notability status, as far as I'm concerned. MeMyselfAndI 5:47 December 28, 2006 (UTC)

What does Hitler have to do with this? 24.63.3.115 22:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing. Lynx and Lamb Gaede were linked to this article, too. It's nothing but pure vandalism. 24.58.4.129 December 30, 2006 2:17 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Girlauthorityalbum.jpg

Image:Girlauthorityalbum.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.
