Notability of Monster Island (band)

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time.

Here is a letter I posted about the inclusion of "Monster Island (band)". It was deleted before it was finished. I don't know if the "delete-er" recieved it or not. "Monster Island (band)" although musically based is an art project that involves performnce, film, theater and extends the musical base into other richer forms of media, also web based. My projects have some "official" sanction and regard in the contemporary art world. I have been included in shows at CoCA, collection of the Pompidou Center in Paris, and the Whitney Biennal of 2002.

Jim,

I had not finished completing my entry for the "Monster Island (band)" when it was deleted by you. I am a conceptual artist and founder of the art collective "Destroy All Monsters",and filmmaker with work held in major museums. "Monster Island" is an unusual act in that it works inside non-traditional band/ performance settings; museums,islands, sacred shrines, etc., and deals with subjects related to spiritualism, lost continents, and art biography. I produce films, bookworks, and am now working on a shadow theater project with "Monster Island" that has recently created interest with Yann Chateigne, a curator in France who has just included us in his exhibition "Theater Without Theater" -- a major and ambitious exhibition program at MACBA, Barcelona that opens on May 25th.

I am new to writing on this Wikipedia, and am going at a slow pace. But I would appreciate some open mindedness in this addition.Thank you.
