Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wintermute ( band ) may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. -- Fr a ncs2000 01:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

While I understand you fears of vaniety. i am adding this article in regards to a very quickly growing fan base and interest in music that is not of the "tradional" music machine, aka the RIAA. The same concepts that the wiki is  built on and continues to grow with  are the very "Core"  of  what is happening in the  music world  in breaking with more traditional music distribution that has had a "strangle-hold" on what music people listen to and purchase. While these walls are quickly crumbling, I do not feel there is  enough information available to the general public about this movement. Wintermute has always been at the vanguard of that movement and as such I intend to add articles about the movement, mp3.com,  etc. Please understand that the  signifigance will be illustarted with future articles.

I have deleted it again as you've just admitted yourself that it's not notable. Please see our guidelines on band notability. -- Fr a ncs2000 02:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry I did not make myself clearer. I did _not_ say it was not Notable. I said it notable , for one reason at  least,   because of the connection the music revolution started by mp3.com and not to mention, Wintermute has been played by  tens  of thousand of fans world wide despite  the fact that we  have never advertised and played on radio stations across the Internet. The sheer guildelines you have for notibility of bands,  with all due respect, flys in the face of    what the Internet was all about, breaking away from corporate control. Your guildlines completely discount artists, like  Wintermute, that have "charted" over and over again on the Internet. Wintermute was always a featured artist at mp3.com and has won awards on various Music Websites. Why the Wiki would have criteria that limits recognition of artists that are not 'tradional' (i.e. brought to fame by the RIAA and their ilk ) blows my mind. Aren't you trying to break the "tradition" of how people can learn about the world?, not to mention you are doing it for free, another staple of Wintemute music...

Orphaned fair use image (Image:WintermuteLogoScanlines.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:WintermuteLogoScanlines.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 22:07, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
