Why on earth was this nominated for speedy deletion? Unknown band? Monolake has been around for at least 10 years, with a very extensive discography. Robert Henke is one of the most respected names within "intelligent dance music" circles. Unknown to Britney Spears fans, maybe, but certainly not to fans of the electronic music genre. --Sonance 08:58, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The person who put on the speedy-delete tag was a troll, and had been abusing various deletion tags that day. The article clearly never met the criteria for speedy delete, so I removed the tag (as did others with the troll's other foolish nominations). Said troll could always nominate the article for VfD (where a proper discussion would take part) but a one-minute google review tells me that would not succeed. Don't worry about it (shit happens). -- John Fader (talk · contribs) 13:40, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your support! I feel the Monolake page is relevant due to the close relations between Monolake and Ableton Live. While not universally accepted, Ableton Live is widely used in the electronic music scene. That page seems to be staying here, and this page complements it. Sucks about trolls. bneely 17:30, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation fix

Hi there. I came across this page when working on Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links. In this article, there is a wiki-link to the word "DUB", in paragraph #2, "Monolake's minimal, dub-influenced techno music helped establish ...". This link "DUB" goes to a disambiguation page with a LOT of options to choose from. It would be better if this link pointed right to the proper version of DUB, instead of the disambiguation page. I'm not sure which "DUB" is the right one,,, the reggae-inspired music one, or the 'techno mix' one (or something else). So, someone who knows about this band, please look at the disambiguation page, and fix the link in this article so it goes right to the proper place. THANKS!! ColtsScore 09:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
