Talk:Music of Homestuck

Merging with Homestuck
Perhaps consider merging Music of Homestuck with Homestuck for WP:NOTABILITY reasons? In addition, music of a game or movie is usually inserted under a Music section of the article. Barzamin (talk) 15:25, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * We'd have to get rid of the list of albums, and even then I'd think merging all the information here into Homestuck would result in a lot of undue weight, unless you trim a lot of the information. I think that would be a shame, as it's interesting information. As for the notability: we have aen entire Daily Dot article dedicated to Homestuck music, a Huffington Post article on filk music for the webcomic, a good portion of an article by The Fader on Homestuck music, mentions of the soundtrack by The Observer, and it's a significant part of the background of Toby Fox. I don't think it's fair to say that the music of Homestuck isn't notable, as there's quite a lot of reliable sources discussing it. ~ Mable ( chat ) 18:51, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Should Megalovania still redirect here?
Many, maybe most, now associate it with Undertale.--64.46.16.51 (talk) 02:42, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, this is the only article that mentions the song itself. Otherwise, the redirect should probably just be deleted. I deliberately didn't create the redirect before, as I don't think it has much purpose. I was just too lazy to get it deleted after someone tried to create an article for it ^_^; ~ Mable ( chat ) 04:17, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually, that's not true: the song is also mentioned once in the Undertale article. Either way, I don't think it matters much. The best course of action may be to delete the redirect, as it suggest that there is some detailed content to be found about the song (which there isn't), but changing the redirect wouldn't matter much. This very article links the song to Undertale and the Undertale article links the song to Homestuck. ~ Mable ( chat ) 12:02, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

I think it should redirect to Toby Fox's page if it survives.--64.46.16.51 (talk) 04:09, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Origins of Megalovania
If you're going to both redirect Megalovania here and note it's origins in Homestuck, you should be prepared to comment somewhere it came from the Earthbound Halloween Hack first, otherwise this becomes very misleading. -- 72.214.181.218 (talk) 02:18, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That was definitely something I wanted to do at the time, but I couldn't find the right sources for it... I'll look around again today. Thanks for pointing it out :) ~ Mable ( chat ) 08:42, 22 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately the original starmen.net post no longer exists (as cited in the UT wiki), so it's not possible to link that...

http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/10/earthbound-halloween-hack/ This contains the hack and by extension the music.

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/halloweenhack/halloweenhack.htm a blog mentioning all of the above. Accurate but not really official

The UT wiki also cites "The Making of Radiation's Halloween Hack" as a source document explaining Megalovania, but I'm not able to find information about the document except for scattered references...

 * Oh my, the Hardcore Gaming 101 article is actually really great. The website is known for its accuracy and having big names writing for them :3 Thank you for searching around, this is very nice :) ~ Mable ( chat ) 19:48, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
