Thanks for uploading Image:Betzefer.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. -- ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 17:14, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Dawn of the Dude

This was a non-notable band as per the criteria set out in WP:Music. Perhaps Myspace would be a better location for this information. (aeropagitica) 18:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Does that band meet this criteria:

Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers (although university newspapers are usually fine), personal blogs, etc.)

By these two newspaper articles about them:

• Mountain Express: [[1]]
• Asheville Citizen-Times: [[2]]

I can cite several other articles from those two newspapers if needed.

Also, a note: They released release the awesome on their own record label, Rage Records

And this part:

Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

I would say Dawn of the Dude is representative of the young music scene around Asheville, NC.

When I went to school there last year, Dawn of the Dude had the concerts everyone talked about.

Thank You, Bob Adams — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beinghappysucks (talk • contribs)

Firstly, sign your comments on Talk pages with four tildes, ~~~~, this makes it easier to respond to comments. Secondly, the band is unsigned and the article was deleted for the following criteria on WP:Music:

1. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one large or medium-sized country.
2. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,[1] reported in notable and verifiable sources.[2]
3. 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).
