Mystery Skulls[edit]

Contested prod. This band does not meet WP:N. Nearly all of the sources in the article are self-published sources by the band and those that are not do not even work. Recent popularity of a fan's music video does not equate to notability, particularly as the band still has no media presence to support notability. —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 05:09, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm finding some evidence to show that the band is indeed notable: ([1], [2], [3], [4]) It looks like they were also the headliner at one party and played in various locations, but I'm not sure how much that will contribute. However I think that the question here should be whether or not this band/project should have its own article or be merged into the article for Luis Dubuc. So far I'm leaning towards a merge because there's not a huge amount on Dubuc's page and this could likely be easily condensed into his article.

~~Merge and redirect to Luis Dubuc~~ for now, anyway. I think that we could maybe argue for an individual article, but at this point in time there's not a huge amount here that couldn't already be covered at Dubuc's article. When/if the act gains more coverage that would go beyond a few paragraphs, we can always un-redirect. I think that while we could argue for an individual article, that doesn't mean that this is the best option out there. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:29, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Just this week, the song "Ghost" by Mystery Skulls debuted at #17 on the Billboard US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, ([5], [6]) which I think helps establish the band's notability since they have charted. I realize it may not fully establish it, but I think it helps to. Moonchïld9 (talk) 03:11, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Changing vote to keep. It's good enough for me, Moonchïld9- I was actually just checking back in since coverage did seem to keep trickling in for them and I was hoping that there would be more. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:31, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The animation associated with Mystery Skulls' "Ghost" has achieved considerable notoriety. This page could probably be expanded to be more useful, though I'll admit I'm not well-versed in Wikipedia bureaucracy. 181.160.107.127 (talk) 17:26, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
