Martial law (us band)


Contested prod. Lengthy and well written article, but sadly on a non notable band, which fails WP:MUSIC. One single on a very small label, one self-released EP, no other elements that indicate notability per the guideline. Martial law plus Nick viau (one of the four main members) gives only a myspace hit... (Googling for martial law alone obviously gives many many unrelated google hits).

Response: I'm new at making articles for wikipedia, so I'm not really sure where I should post my response. Wikipedia is my favorite site and I use it extensively, for hours every day, just reading, learning, etc. I am a talented writer as well and have written several screenplays, so I decided to try my hand at wikipedia articles. I wrote this article about a band I knew a lot about, and if you could not delete it, I would really appreciate it. I know a lot of people who would appreciate this article's preservation and among those people is a huge group that cares about this band. If for no other reason, please don't delete this article simply because it is my debut article. I know that is an irrational reason, but this article means a lot to me and I hope to become one of wikipedia's valued article editors. I have noticed a lot of poor writing on this site and was using this article to practice for editing some of those articles. I know many people do not know the band Martial Law, and that this article may be a little long for an unknown band, but I assure you that they have had a lot of success and do fall into several of the categories that are required for a notable band. Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Letitithrash17 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete as a repost - I deleted this on November 9th as a db-band candidate, WP:Music refers. (aeropagitica) 23:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
