Fair use rationale for Image:Giaawiki.jpg[edit]

Image:Giaawiki.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 this Wikipedia article 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Advertising?[edit]

Doesn't the first sentence of the last paragraph under the tab "History" (specifically: "[the record Origins] cements their place as one of the world’s most intense, musically- and visually-inventive post rock bands") sound awfully like advertising for the band? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.164.126.21 (talk) 23:05, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

God Is an Astronaut → God Is An Astronaut – The band itself capitalizes "an". Sources use both, possibly due to citogenesis. Hrodvarsson (talk) 23:19, 15 August 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 11:01, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:23, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia generally uses sentence case like God is an Astronaut so this isn't a clear uncontroversial issue. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 23:59, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Since sources use a capital "A" and the band uses a capital "A". Meatsgains^(talk) 00:46, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support the I of is is already capitalized makes sense to capitalize the A of an as per sources עם ישראל חי (talk) 14:43, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the I of "is" would always be capitalized for a title as a verb (it's not a "small word" that is customarily decapitalized). I will defer to whatever the community decides on the "an/An", as to whether or not this is considered mere stylization. Chubbles (talk) 15:46, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MOS:CT: "Not capitalized: For title case, the words that are not capitalized on Wikipedia (unless they are the first or last word of a title) are: Indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the)". Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:19, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MOS:CT. Wikipedia has its own style guide which clearly states that articles are not capitalized. How outside sources capitalize the title is irrelevant. Following the style guide is important to achieve and maintain consistency within Wikipedia (cf. God Is a Woman, God Is a DJ (Pink song), God Is a Girl).
