Who ever removed this article, should have a second thought about what copyright is about. Nobody can copyright an artist's discography, history or other publicly available data about an artist, not at least in civilized countries as Finland.
- Lists of verifiable facts are not copyrightable in the US unless organized in a unique and creative way. I'm not privvy to what material was removed due to copyvio process, but any sort of text descriptions cut-and-pasted would be subject to copyright. In fact, I believe that in the US, courts have upheld that using even just a three word unique phrase to describe the same subject is copyright violation. I suspect that the admins were playing it safe. --Laura Scudder | Talk 20:39, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

- The list was a very long list cut and paste directly from the bands website, and was deleted as a copyvio. The information is fine, you just need to express it in your own words. Look at the pages from other bands for some ideas. --nixie 04:15, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
By the way if anyone was thinking this band is "non-notable", they get 15,700 google hits, which isn't too bad. Kappa 21:44, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
