Site promotion
Please do not use Wikipedia to promote your website. However even if you were not promoting the site, it is ineligible for inclusion on Wikipedia due to its use of copyrighted material in the scanning of magazine articles. Canterbury Tail  talk  22:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Funny, because www.anybodylistening.net/breakdownroom doesn't have any articles scanned, yet you deleted that as well, and that site as well has information the official site does not. You seem to be very taken with Queensryche's wikipedia page, Ben. Why is that, and why are you denying people useful information?

AnybodyListening.net's article scans are a small part of the site. And the majority of the magazines that are scanned no longer are in print. Many are also over 25 years old, and the material is now in the public domain.

If you want a compromise, I'll stop putting the main site in Wikipedia, but The Breakdown Room (www.anybodylistening.net/breakdownroom) should stay, given the amount of information contained in that forum. It's also the only public form for the band in existence. It's not about promotion, it's about giving people information to learn about the band.

 * A 25 year old magazine is not in the public domain, it is still copyrighted under US copyright law (for US publications.) Also we do not link to forums, only encyclopaedic content. Wikipedia isn't a collection of links, only for encyclopaedic additional content, of which forums and discussion boards are not. Canterbury Tail   talk  23:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
