The backstage assault

Q1: Why isn't the "backstage punching incident" included in this article?

A1: The incident is unverifiable by Wikipedia standards, has been determined to be non-notable by multiple established editors, and is a gross WP:BLP violation. Per the BLP policy, any negative or controversial information in an article about a living person that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed. The only references for the "punching incident" are a Youtube video of indeterminate origin (which is also an advertisement for another band) and blogs. None of these satisfy WP:RS, and so the incident is not verifiable, per WP:V.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

Horrible photo![edit]

Horrible photo, please change it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:554E:7801:3953:A7C7:D925:B378 (talk) 12:23, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vocal range??[edit]

Article lists Danzig as having a 'baritone voice and a tenor vocal range'. Is he a baritone or a tenor? It would be unusual to be both i.e. have a singing voice that spans or overlaps two vocal ranges. The way the article currently reads suggests two disparate sources of information. tim.wilson.online (talk) 15:09, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tim.wilson.online here is what the cited L.A. Times article states about his voice, "Danzig has a gusty voice capable of melodic clarity" and actually does not support any other statement in that sentence so unclear why it is cited. The article actually compares the Misfits to the Ramones ("a speeded-up version of the Ramones powerchord formula..."). I do not have access to the other two sources cited but looking back into the history, back in March 2009, the article stated "As a singer, he is noted for his vocal range and distinctive style.." with the same cited sources so I agree this is suspect.

Also, in the Musical Style section where is stated again, it is sourced to this All Music Overview which does not support the statement either. S0091 (talk) 16:04, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
