Mister Monster (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-Notable band with a "cult" following. Only claim to notability is having a song used in a video game. All references are unreliable or not enough to establish notability. Ridernyc (talk) 16:10, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Weak keep - I don't believe the above statement is accurate. Ox-fanzine is a major print publication that has been around since 1989 and is almost certainly a reliable source.  That publication has reviewed at least two albums by the band in depth, conferring notability.  Music Review is a borderline, possibly reliable source.  A couple of the others are definitely reliable, but not in depth.  Then there are several interviews, which are primary sources - they don't establish notable, but help build an article, which is a plus.  It's not clear how this bio was written, but if it is by Interpunk staff than it would be a reliable source. Overall, it adds up to a weak keep for me. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:15, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename to Jason Trioxin. He seems to have the claim to notability, having worked as a sidesman to Michale Graves and playing guitar on Wednesday 13's lovingly titled Fuck It, We'll Do It Live, but he doesn't have an article on the English Wikipedia.

 * Reworking it into a biography about Trioxin would be equally acceptable as keeping as is. I definitely considered making that suggestion myself. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:36, 1 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Between the suggested retitle and leaving as is, I prefer the latter. On the one hand if listed as Jason Trioxin, then searches for Mister Monster (band) would redirect to it, whereas a redirect from Jason Trioxin to Mister Monster should currently be in place. So it's a little bit of "six of one and half dozen of the other". I agree that having been associated with three other notable acts (the two Ritchie333 pointed out as well as Blitzkid) makes Jason Trioxin independently notable. However, I feel that his independent notability merely adds to this band's notability... and this band is his main project, thus deserving of a page, for that reason combined with the reasons noted by ThaddeusB.Keithramone33 (talk)Keithramone33
