Agree it is certainly legit in MB eyes as this is clearly more effort than a single YouTube video that some people post. Just not sure why he is allowed to distort so many MB guidelines in the process. The comical part is he would have been left alone in peace if he hadn’t started hammering at those guidelines so hard. 
In a few minutes of searching I’ve found SIX DUMB QUESTIONS with Vision Eternel
Alexander Julien Of Vision Eternel Explains His New Album Of Illustrious ‘Melogaze’ – Captured Howls

The Inarguable: New Vision Éternel Songs and Video Up, and an Exclusive Interview with A. Julien
None of these are Rolling Stone or Pitchfork, granted, and I haven’t attempted to verify their legitimacy.
Really, this sounds about normal for a small-time local band/musician. Personally, I generally take a band/artist more seriously if they actually play concerts/shows, and in my searching I couldn’t find any evidence that this band has ever played shows. However, it’s not uncommon for these small-time acts to rarely play out – It takes a certain amount of dedication to grind through those first few dozen shows of playing to only 5 or so people, and add in that with electronic music, playing live is completely different from the studio experience (i.e. spending hours to make a 5-minute track).
And the lack of concerts is probably a big part of the lack of local newspaper/alt-weekly coverage.
Also, record labels run out of someone’s house is pretty common in the micro-label (AKA “DIY”) scene.
You did better than me - I gave up reading after the first few I found. But then I didn’t get past page 6 of Google searches. 
Only spent an hour on it before getting bored.
I am not doubting he has created music, he just has a far bigger and more interesting project there than just the CDs.
Hmm, with that in mind I would definitely just leave them to it… considering they edit Discogs and RYM etc to the same scale I’m not that surprised they’re not too interested in MB specific guidelines.
They are on last.fm as ‘HDS7’ if you guys want to keep stalking. I am quite tempted to link them to this discussion and see what their input is 
None of this seems that out of the ordinary for a nerdy bedroom musician imo… but hey, musicians are artists. And we all know the less said about artists the better 
Oh look, it’s the old “I want to tag my files with this” argument for uploading inappropriate cover art. Again.

can i get some votes on this merge https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75578136 but check Should i merge these two labels before voting
@drsaunde is accusing me of being dishonest in https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75816423, so I’d like some more eyes and votes on the following 12 edits:
There’s some editing history from other sites involved with this editor (yes, I have reported them here), but let’s just look at the validity of these edits just based on MB standards -
here you have merges for three newly created artists with a legal name entries solely to be able to say “it is my legal name”, which MB no longer needs because we now allow aliases:
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75954743 -
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75953869 -
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75953849 -
you can even click the legal name discogs links to see the release that created the legal name entry - they’re pretty comical
and here you have the original account voting on edits by his sock account:
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75926007 -
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75927479 -
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/75927438 - this one is probably correct, but it runs contrary to the artist’s edit
*I originally reported this as a sockpuppet account, the edit comments admit to being a meat puppet.
Requesting for votes the following edits on entry https://musicbrainz.org/release/dbc0f817-4aa6-437b-9819-5e7fc9374967

So today I realized that when I first created this release, I had accidentally entered the original disc contents with the wrong track order. However, I cannot re-order the tracks (and add the missing track lengths) because I had previously attached TOCs to the two discs in this release. Therefore, I had deleted the original two discs, and re-created them with the correct track titles and length. Now the two originally incorrectly-entered discs are shown in the release as discs 3 and 4. Please review the pending edits that are meant to clean them up. Thanks.

I know there are French speakers here. And those who understand the written French language.
If there are no accents on a title in CAPITALS on a cover, should they be used in the lower case version?
Can you confirm that a Track Title like “LE VOYAGE DE PENELOPE” should be written as “Le Voyage de Pénélope” in the track list with the accents because it is the correct French spelling.
This editor does not believe me and is trying to strip the accents : https://musicbrainz.org/edit/76226127

My initial import went awry due to the unusual structure of this album, and I fixed it.
There’s an edit with some confusion about how album artist fields should be handled for releases with many artists, but may not warrant the use of “Various Artists”. I left my vote but I would like some other editors to give feedback as well since this is a somewhat unique edgecase.
Requesting for approval on this deletion: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/77190597
Due to a network glitch on my end, I accidentally created an empty release. Please upvote to have it removed.

There is a bit of dispute around this merger: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/77168725
In general, I’m not convinced at all about merging entirely different aliases/names of an artist. It’s not the case of spelling differences like “The Lake People” vs “Lake People” vs “lk_ppl”.
Plus, the synopses for “Amrint Keen” releases do suggest that the alias was made to cover a different creative approach to this artist’s music.
I believe that the general direction on MB is always to keep artistic entities as separated as possible. Compare the numerous monikers for Aphex Twin or Legowelt that have very subtle differences between each other (when it comes to music), if any at all.
Could I get some votes/an Approve on https://musicbrainz.org/edit/77585784? I’d like to merge the release being edited into an existing entry for the same data (it was entered off an incomplete tracklist), but merging seems to require the releases to have matching tracklist lengths.

Can some of you bored AEs come and earn your spurs?
I need a little assistance explaining the guidelines to this guy who wants to add “feat” to an Album track list that has no “feats” in it. He sees a “feat” on a Single, and knows this person sings the track, and now wants to add a “feat” to the Album track.
Problem is I can’t find a clearer way to say “Nah mate, that ain’t how it works here”. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/77647567
Thanks.

Update: resolved.
Just realized that I accidentally assigned remixes of some tracks (with the same title and similar length) into the same recordings, and I have separated them. Please help by approving these two edits so I can continue with fixing these entries:
I don’t usually go begging for votes, but it seems one editor decided to drop his one and only No vote on my merge here:
https://musicbrainz.org/edit/77645373
I believe it is a good merge for the reasons mentioned, but if it is a bad one I can cancel. Thanks!
Requesting review for the following edit:
This edit is a re-creation of an earlier edit that had already been reviewed and agreed by other members. However, a conflict prevented the original edit to be applied, so I re-created the original one.
And possibly these related ones, which updates the recordings related to the above media edit:

I would like more people to see this release group merge, as I am the only voter (no) and it is about to expire. And I may be wrong.
It’s a single version (3 recordings, 2 works) merging with a mini album version (5 recordings, 2 more works), with same main title.
There is also a pirate compilation version (all 8 recordings and 4 works), that contains both tracklists.
If the first 2 merge, then the 3rd one should too, maybe.
