Fair use rationale for Image:King Steps.jpg
Image:King Steps.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 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 21:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

The song "Smug and Irritating" is NOT by King / Paul King. Can someone please remove this? Or at least argumentate its non-removal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.169.73.72 (talk) 08:49, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Requested move 9 February 2016

The result of the move request was: Move. Clear consensus that the current setup is confusing. King (band) will be redirect to disambiguation, but I'll leave KING (band) in place, as it seems unlikely anyone would search for any other topic with that term.

– As it stands, KING (band) violates WP:ALLCAPS. Based on the article, it does not appear to be an acronym, initialism, or abbreviation. Both bands are English, so King (British band) nor King (English band) would make suitable disambiguation options. Additionally, I plan to create an article about a third group called King that has been active since 2009, so disambiguation by use of decades wouldn't really work as the second band was active up until the same decade. If anyone prefers a different genre to identify the current articles by, by all means suggest them. — ξ xplicit  06:26, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * King (band) → King (new wave band)
 * KING (band) → King (pop band)
 * Strong support well spotted. Amazing that it seems to have been like this for years. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:39, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
