Because the band VOLTO! is a creative, eclectic nexus of several highly talented, highly succesful, and highly noteworthy individuals, it is imperative that this page remain. For anyone to deny the noteworthiness of the band VOLTO! is naive and uninformed, considering the cultural weight carried by the band's members.

This article on VOLTO! was originally deleted, though it mentioned that one member, Danny Carey, is in the band Tool. According to WIKIPEDIA's policies, "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 6. Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such."

Was my original article, which clearly defended VOLTO!'s notability, a victim of some strange form of Wiki snobbery? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamoore84 (talk • contribs) 03:44, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Apparently I am supposed to sign these things. Jamoore84 (talk) 03:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

You're right. The drummer does grant notability enough to prevent CSD; I apologize. However, it may still be nominated for Articles for Deletion. I encourage you to search for sources that indicate notability aside from the drummer. seresin | wasn't he just...? 04:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

My recent updates, prior to your above post, which should increase notability, include big-time name dropping for the bassist-- a list of artists he has performed with in the past including Alanis Morisette, Don Henley, etc. Hopefully this cements VOLTO! as noteworthy by Wikipedia standards.Jamoore84 (talk) 05:21, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Good to see Volto! is finally on here. I've seen Volto! many times so I can help out. I don't know where to start, but this article needs some expansion. Should we add the set list and show structure?PÆonU (talk) 07:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
