– Currently, the article names for the Monstercat albums are inconsistent. Monstercat 5 Year Anniversary and Rocket League x Monstercat Vol. 1 retain their full names, while these particular nominated articles omit their "Monstercat" prefixes. Usually article names are not truncated unless for ridiculously long album names, such as The Idler Wheel... In any case, it's important to have some consistency. The preferred article names are sourced from their respective listings on Monstercat's official website (Launch Week, Early Stage, Momentum), notable is the absence of a comma in the title of Monstercat Uncaged Vol. 1. En dashes are used in accordance with WP:MOS. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 17:45, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Survey edit

  • Support per nom. Monstercat uses these titles on their website as well. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 18:16, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. I did these names because of the albums 001 - Launch Week and 002 - Early Stage, but I didn't do it for the 5 year anniversary and rocket league because I couldn't shorten them. I always thought the names were silly anyway. Micro (Talk) 00:54, 14 August 2017 (UTC) Note to closing admin: MicroPowerpoint (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this RM.

  • Support. These titles are used on Monstercat's website, so we should base the article titles on that. Clbsfn (talk) 05:16, 15 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Genres edit

This is mainly for the IP that has been changing genres, but what source makes you say your version of the song genres are correct? Me and the other editors of this article have been using the genres on the Monstercat website, even though most of them aren't correct. I suspect that if you're using something like the Monstercat Document, I suggest taking the time to read up on WP:FANCRUFT; Wikipedia only accepts primary and reliable third-party sources for most changes. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 00:22, 19 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

I am pretty sure they're using the Document, and while ironic that we used to use it for the Monstercat article, is an unreliable source. Just use the genres listed on the Monstercat website. Micro (Talk) 02:39, 19 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Draft for Uncaged Vol. 2 edit

@MicroPowerpoint and Clbsfn: I've just started the draft for Monstercat Uncaged Vol. 2, however, we need to fill in the article with sources and the tracklist as well as other needed fixes before we bring it into the mainspace. Thanks for any help you provide. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 04:26, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

@SevenJays and MicroPowerpoint: I'll add to this. We use what Monstercat says, to avoid violating WP:NOR. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 00:35, 20 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

So needs the correct genres with N-OR then SevenJays (talk) 00:37, 20 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

That's what we mean! The Monstercat website is the source that we're using! jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 05:14, 20 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal edit

I propose that this page, Monstercat Uncaged Vol. 2, and Monstercat Uncaged Vol. 3 be merged into a new article called Monstercat Uncaged. There aren't many references to use for standalone articles and the only other sources keeping these pages afloat only refer to the songs in the tracklists. WP:GNG requires significant coverage of the albums rather than the individual songs for the albums to be notable, and a new article with only sources about the thirty albums in the original series will be sufficient for notability of the series overall.

  • Merge into Monstercat instead, if it has to. Per the nominator's rationale, though I disagree that there needs to be a "Monstercat Uncaged" article when the content of these articles could easily be covered in the Monstercat article through prose writing. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 08:00, 5 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
