Found passing references with regards to John Flansburgh's involvement, but WP:NOTINHERITED is in play here. The only sources presently are all WP:PRIMARY (Flansburgh's blog, liner notes to the albums), and further searching yielded almost nothing useful.

- Merge to John Flansburgh. This act has a small amount of notice as a famous person's side project, but not enough to merit its own article. Can be mentioned briefly at Flansburgh's article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:21, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - It probably makes the most "sense" to merge to Flansburgh, although I note that one can retrieve enough citations from RS on Mono Puff via databases like ProQuest to make the Mono Puff article better sourced than the (current) Flansburgh one...

- That simply means that Flansburgh's article can be improved, not that Mono Puff is notable on its own. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:17, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Well, no, the most important policy states that topics may be notable if there is in-depth, substantial, reliable, and independent sourcing--everything else, including my above comment, is preference and consensus. Again, I don't particularly care--which is why I didn't "vote" or proactively add references; it's more that AfDs catch my eye where coverage is going to be in print sources.

- Sorry, that reads more snappish than I intended it to. Caro7200 (talk) 19:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

- Merge with John Flansburgh: Place it in the "Side projects" part of the page. If notability improves then it can be split in the future. Gusfriend (talk) 06:28, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
