Fair use rationale for Image:Abacab.jpg

Image:Abacab.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 17:06, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

So....Who Dunnit?

It appears that the page I created for the song "Who Dunnit?" has been completely deleted, with the Wikipedia editors debating that "Who Dunnit?" did not deserve a page, as it was "never released as a single" and is "not a notable song". Huh??? I've also noticed that the other "Abacab" songs that were *also* not released as singles, such as "Like It Or Not," have also had their pages deleted as well.

Since when did Wikipedia create this stupid, ridiculous, idiotic rule that only "notable" songs and songs that were released as singles can have Wikipedia pages? This is absolutely absurd! You're saying that only songs released as singles matter? Are you guys actually gonna wipe out *every single page* for every song on Wikipedia that wasn't released as a single? You have got to be kidding me....

I have contributed several things to Wikipedia in the past, and you have accepted them, and I thank you for that. You have also removed a few of my contributions too, but up until now I have been willing to accept the occasional differences. But to wipe out my entire page for "Who Dunnit?", along with the other non-single "Abacab" tracks, on the basis that these songs weren't released as singles, and therefore, are "not notable" and must be deleted from Wikipedia, is totally the last straw for me. The notion that only songs released as singles deserve a Wikipedia page is absolute bull---t. You guys at Wikipedia desperately need to rethink this ridiculous policy about what makes a song "notable".

And that's it for me.AL9000 (talk) 23:23, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree 110% with what you say... unfortunately, as of right now there is nothing anyone can do about it. CarpetCrawler (talk) 05:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Pop

After Wind and Wuthering, which is arguable their last progressive rock record, pop is more than accurate to describe every subsequent release. I'm not saying that progressive rock should be deleted, but pop rock should be added, so I'll do that. Revan ltrl (talk) 22:34, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Meaning and origin?

Has this word any meaning, and what's it's origin? Abacab sounds like adding 'cab' from cabinet after ABBA a popular group of the seventies!
