Re: Leviathan Review
Ok let me explain a few things, firstly it would be better off to have started a topic about this on the article's talk page. Secondly, what you said here puts you on the lines of a conflict of interest which the very first of what you said shows: "Our website is obviously an online publication, we advertise for large clients like Nick Cave and The Big Day Out Music Festival, and our staff is a mixture of paid and volunteer workers."

Thirdly, I suggest that the site (or source really) be reviewed at Reliable sources/Noticeboard but reviewed obviously for use in articles as a usable review site. You may want to see these nominations for deletion of The Metal Observer site: nomination 1 and nomination 2 for what I mean. The Metal Observer article was deleted because it was a self-published source (which User:Cannibaloki indicated in his edit summary) and the site is pretty popular here for use as reviews but was deleted nonetheless. The next step would be to find out if 'your' site can be used in the professional review area.

Also, no need for such a reaction to a "word", have some tolerance please as people can choose their own "words" as they please but no matter. Also, just a suggestion but you may want to archive your talk page instead of deleting, though you have the right to blank your page if you do so please, so don't forget that and let people know.

 * I was just noting that Metal Observer was deleted as an article and reviews were removed from album reviews because of this. The site may not be "a Metal Observer" but it depends if there are Third-party sources on it from other notable review sites and the like. People will come and remove it if they believe it doesn't pass up for whatever reason. It's only a plus if it has an article (establishing it as truly notable and that's if it survives deletion).


 * It's not that you have financial interest but the fact that you are a part of 'The Drarf' is enough for a conflict of interest such as being a member of a band.


 * Having another opinion is good but as I state above it must be notable enough (or reliable enough in this case). I'm still suggesting a review of the site anyway. The site is probably ok to use but some people may think differently.
