This is a vanity article. 68.101.247.157 and 12.135.154.12 are either Joe Monzo himself, or other users whose edits consist mainly of adding external links to Tonalsoft to various articles. Od Mishehu 13:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete I would not say it meets A7 but however it does seem non-notable and as mentioned by the nominator does appear to have a conflict of interest. The Sunshine Man 14:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Adds no value, failing WP:NOTE and WP:COI applies.Pedro |  Chat  15:09, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete no notability established for the subject. I'm amazed the article lasted this long, as it was created in 2004. Acalamari 19:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete- per all of the above. Eddie 20:53, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • NO DELETE Not a vanity article. Monzo is in fact a active music theorist (cf. yahoogroups), author (I have the book), programmer (I have used the program), and composer (I have heard his music played at concerts). Non-notable? How is this determined? As 21st century music theory is only in its infancy, how do you know what is notable or not. It is in fact arguably notable, given the progress in just the past few years in microtonal software and notation (e.g. Sagittal), in which Monzo has been either the primary theorist or actively involved with others. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.210.150.30 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • No Delete Monzo has done a huge amount of research in music theory and history, and has published a vast amount of it, along with much highly original theory, online both on his websites and at the Yahoo Groups related to microtonal music and Mahler. He is also IMO a significant composer, especially of microtonal music. It would be great if someone who knows more than me about Wikipedia would do whatever needs to be done to the page to give it a solid existence at Wikipedia.Starky32 02:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - This article is lacking sources, and has been heavily edited by its subject, but despite this, I do agree with those above who consider him notable. If you're interested in tuning, you've probably heard of him. His Tonalsoft website is quite good, one of the best on the subject, and has been around for quite some time. I think he's notable, but unfortunately I don't have any sources with which I could verify or contribute to the text of the article (which is why my vote to keep is weak, rather than strong). Hopefully someone else can dig up sources on him. - Rainwarrior 03:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
