I've restored the article as it appears the band meets WP:N due to singer Benoit David. However, it's in a poor, unsourced state, so if you want it to stay undeleted, you'd better fix it. ProhibitOnions (T) 10:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Recent changes to band members

edit

As of yet we have no sources to verify the recent changes to the band lineup. These will need to be provided asap. For the time being,

1. For the issue of former members acting in a touring capacity...

At present four of the former members of the band (Dupuis, Gagné, Baldwin, and Fournier) are touring musicians with Mystery. Whilst they are touring members their names should be listed as such, with their touring-only tenures separated from their official tenures (at the time of writing this is so). Once they stop touring with the band they revert to being former members first and foremost (not former touring musicians) and should be listed in the former members section in the order of which they joined the band during their official tenure. The dates shown in the brackets will thus be reversed.

2. Former members in the infobox...

The infobox members sections are meant to include official members only, so Dupuis, Gagné, Baldwin, and Fournier should be listed in the former members (in order of who joined first, in amongst the other members already in that section). The current members section should therefore only feature the names of St-Père and David.

3. Members in the lineup chronology...

As the four current touring musicians were once officially part of the band, the current lineup (with them no longer operating in an official capacity) is separate to the previous lineups. Therefore they need separate allocations in the table.

Hopefully we'll soon have the references we need, and thank you for your time in reading this.

I've just read this and even now the case remains the same. Hopefully the justification for certain considerations between 2011 and 2014 can be rectified soon. Regards, 5.80.224.18 (talk) 11:49, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
If you look at the lineups for the studio albums, the three members played on One Among..., not The World... and will be playing again on the newest album, therefore, they were touring members once recording for World started and until the recording for the new album started. It's somewhat complicated, but this is what is currently displayed. If you have any comments on this, please make a reply.KyoufuNoDaiou (talk) 02:40, 1 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
