Procedural listing without prejudice following deletion review of speedy delete. —Doug Bell talk 21:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment There is at this time a proposed rewrite at Talk:Dicta License. I haven't looked to see if it is a better article.  The band is from the Phillipines, so systemic bias and sources in other languages could be issues.  GRBerry 22:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are no published sales figures ANYWHERE and they don't even have their own website. Theirs expired and was snapped up by a landing site company. There can be no proper assertion of notability without sales or chart figures. Nardman1 22:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it's really hard to find published album sales figures in the Philippines, especially if you're not one of those major bands/artists that sell that much. The band, Dicta License, is a non-mainstream act, but they are under a major record label (Warner Music Philippines), which I think suffices for their notability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jenvidanes (talk • contribs) 18:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC).


 * Keep. Notable, signed in a major label (Warner Music). -- Howard  the   Duck  11:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. per Howard and that Dicta License has music videos show in MYX, has been featured in different newspapers and magazines here in the Philippines. Dicta License is one of the many bands in the Philippines that Filipino Wikipedians have a hard time finding references to assert notability because the Internet presence of Filipino media is scarce (Inq7.net is the only primary and most visible resource we have, and most of the news there are from politics).

 * Keep. nominations from NU Rock Awards and MTV Philippines assert notability. 202.138.180.33 05:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
