Jason Frost

See related entries Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Blue Moon & Company, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Love Junkies. Non-notable, vanity, possible hoax. Searches for "Blue Moon & Company," "Love Junkies," and "Jason Frost" at allmusic.com turn up zilch. Android79 02:53, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Wikipaedia decision maker. Jason Frost was a Sunhine Bandmemebr of KC&Sunshine Band as well as an importnat part of rock n roll history, who continues to create music for his devoted fans like myself. You can check here, as well as link thoughout this page on his newspaper articles, press, artist pages, and movie film database on major film, etc. He is notable. Android79 has done nothing but angered me and played game sand muddied up this page.

A search for "jason frost & sunshine band" turned up folowwing results: MTV listings: http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/337491/personmain.jhtml

(The star next to his name means he is notable to MTV)

Wikipaedia requires for a band or artist personality to be listed he must have been a member of a notable band, KC & Sunshine Band, had hits like "get down tonight" and others. His being a memebr of this band makes him notable, even though I find this the least notable of his accomplishments. I vote a VETO! - Timk

(again apologize for the muddies up page which follows, in between are some good links for verification)

GO AHEAD AND KEEP DELETING ON YOUR DELETENING SPREE ANDROID, WIKIPAEDIA AUTHORS WILL SOON FIND THAT YOU ARE JUST DELETING ON RANDOM SPREE WITH NO BASIS. - Timk

• Delete, not notable, artist vanity. Megan1967 04:02, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

VOTE TO DISREGARD: See below, even after providing facts, Android79 will not back down or change mind, obviously personal, also read androids profile, makes a habit of actively seeking bands and artsist to delete. Sounds fishy to me. Like they are just looking and itching to delete the hard work many of have contributed over many years on an artist or band they find notable. I don't think I will be using wikipaedia anymore because of stuff like this. I actually came on here 2nite and was going to add some newer updates and stuff to one of my favorite artists pages- but I change my mind after this. Not worth the ffort when people can just delete on a whim everyones efforts and contributions. (Note: This unsigned comment is by User:Tim k, who inserted it between User:Megan1967's vote and her signature, possibly as an attempt to misattribute the comment to her.) WTF- stop making up shit! Nothing was placed between her vote and signature. I was just putting some info at top of page before peopl read all your nonsense! -TimK

• Delete, all of them. DaveTheRed 04:12, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for not verifiably meeting the Notability and Music Guidelines. If he was truly an important part of the Olympia scene, I would change my vote, but I can't verify this. Tuf-Kat 05:07, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)

See his write up on Jason Frost of Love Junkies in Olympia, WA newspaper. http://www.theolympian.com/home/news/20040507/living/44466_Printer.shtml (scroll middle of article)

• Keep Keep. I have been longtime fan and can verify this information, also do a web search on google or sumthin, hes listed everywhere, but AMG only listed major label artists, not indies -he has only recently signed to bigger label, perhaps he will be listed soon?

Also he began and started out renting warehouse space formerly rented by nirvana and was roomates and shared practice space with John Wozniak of Marcy Playground, also was promoter in NW innovating new type shows like phunky phat 95, and has gone on to do national charity tours such as rock4xmas.com which brings gifts and money to homelss and those less fortunate each year.

Do your research before deleting!

(Jason Frost may not be in Allmusic, but is in Internet Movie Film Database as Sunshine Bandmember)

He was member of KC & Sunshine Band and appeared in movie The "In-Laws" featuring Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks in credits as Sunshine Bandmember:

Full credits: http://imdb.com/title/tt0314786/fullcredits (scroll mid page)

His new album and release on Statue Records Group label by band called "Jason Frost & The Love Junkies" (formerly Blue Moon & Company) --Tim k (Frostfan)

• Comment. Notwithstanding, let's take these one by one:
  • do a web search on google or sumthin, hes listed everywhere
    • The first six hits or so on Google for "jason frost" "love junkies" are either text that is mysteriously like what shows up in the Wikipedia article, search engine black holes, or bogus press releases. It seems to me that Frost or someone who really cares about promoting his music is laying down a whole lot of astroturf.
  • he has only recently signed to bigger label, perhaps he will be listed soon?
    • Provide a verification of this fact and it might help.
  • started out renting warehouse space formerly rented by nirvana
    • I went to high school with the Dahm triplets. Do I deserve my own Wikipedia entry?
  • was roomates and shared practice space with John Wozniak of Marcy Playground
    • How is this any more than name-dropping? AFAIK, Marcy Playground is pretty much a one-hit wonder. Sharing practice space with this band is somehow notable?
  • also was promoter in NW innovating new type shows like phunky phat 95,
    • Google for "phunky phat 95" yields yet more from the same sites as the earlier search.
  • and has gone on to do national charity tours such as rock4xmas.com which brings gifts and money to homelss and those less fortunate each year
    • rock4xmas.com doesn't list any kind of Junkies. Granted, I didn't poke around the site that long, as it made my eyes bleed. If I'm mistaken, please correct me.
• Sorry if this seems a bit harsh, but after dealing with the vandalism and yet another entry on the Love Junkies, well, you get the idea. Android79 04:30, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

HE IS LISTED AS JASON FROST, UNDER SPONSORS LOVE JUNKIES ALBUM COVER IS LISTED -- READ THE NAME SOF PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS - NO SMALL FARE.

Also he began and started out practicing with John Wozniak of Marcy Playground (jamming in same warehouse space formerly as Nirvana with his band Blue Moon splitting the unit with Marcy Playground to jam---they also shared a giutarist). He was also promoter in NW innovating new type shows like phunky phat 95 bringing hip hop and alternative music together and he has gone on to do national charity tours such as rock4xmas.com working with some pretty notable celebrities like members from Anthrax, WASP, Great White, Quiet Riot, Badfinger, Blue Oyster Cult and others. They bring gifts and money to homeless and those less fortunate each year.

Do your research before deleting! (He is notable)

• Yet another bogus press release. Android79 04:34, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

WHY DO YOU SAY ALL THIS STUFF IS BOGUS? I ATTENDED ONE OF THE SHOWS!!!

• It's bogus because anyone can submit a press release that says whatever they want it to. Android79 04:57, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

WHO ARE YOU ANDROID79 THAT YOU WOUDL DISCREDIT A PERSONS WHOLE LIFE AND CAREER? SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS UNCONVENTIONAL AND INDEPENDANT FREE THNKER WHO IS NOT CONTROLLED BY MASS MEDIA??? I THINK YOU GOT PROBLEMS OR HAVE PERSONAL VENDETTA WITH THIS ARTIST AND BAND. HIS LISTING HAS BEEN ON HERE FOR YEARS. I RECOMMEND THIS DELETION REQUEST BE REMOVED. IT IS INSULTING TO THIS ARTIST AND HIS FANS. I AM GOING TO EMAIL A COPY OF THIS PAGE TO HIS WEBSITE OR POST ON HIS BAND's BBS A COPY OF THIS NONSENSE.

• Personal vendetta? Certainly not. Provide some verifiable information that shows that the subject is somehow notable and I'm sure that it will remain on Wikipedia without any problems. Android79 04:57, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. No allmusic.com entry. One credit in IMDB does not equal notability. Gamaliel 04:54, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I have provided more notable info and links than you could provide discredits---as I said and YOU deleted and VANDALIZED MY post. I said being on major film credits with Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks and a member of KC & SUNSHINE BAND, also in film, is pretty frickin notable if you ask me...also every other thing and link abotu this artist is notable. I have followed this artist for years. I coudl go on and on... but why try...its obvious that wikipaedia is no longer aplace to find juicy tidbits and obscure info...its becoming ruined by people likeyou deleteing information that took others years to compile and post here on what they obviously found to be notable. - Tim k

• Please, read the notability guidelines for musicians. They're not hard and fast rules, but Frost comes nowhere near meeting any of them. I doubt whether a role as what basically amounts to an extra in a single movie really counts for much, either. Also, if I deleted all or part of your posts, it was inadvertent, as we were editing this page concurrently. Android79 05:16, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)

Your original argument has been refuted

Non-notable,

I have givenlinks to websites, press, newspapers, charity sites with bands and concerts he has worked to promote. Also if not being a part of the initial grunge movement and playing and hanging with all those bands in the early grunge days in independantg rock scene is not notable or interesting WTF? Also I provided major film and verifiable proof that he went on to be part of KC & SUNSHINE band- wikipaedia rules says if you are memebr of major band through major label even for short time than you satisfy listign requirement. I personally find this as his least notable accomplishment, but that alone suffices and satisfies wikipaedia placement.

vanity,

I am sure if you check the articles on frost and his bands, and otehr stuff probably had multiple authors as I have witness the articles here on him change over the years -- he has had listign long time. Are you smoking peyote?

possible hoax

Hoax, this is a musician with long verifiable history, what kind of hoax can this be? he has been around before wikipaedia even existed!!!
