Article fails WP:NCORP and it is significantly a prominence building attempt through public relations effort, thus WP:TNT is relevant. 75.5% of authorship can be attributable to blocked sockmaster MusicLover650's sock Earflaps, and WP:SPAsMgretchh Capobw49, Carolinerubin and an IP that links to the same geographical area as the company, 2601:1C2:700:D0E0:7844:583D:4AB7:80AC Graywalls (talk) 23:13, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: had AUD meeting coverage in the book Shooting Star: The Definitive Story of Elliott Smith, and a bunch of GNG-qualifying coverage in Portland news. Mach61 (talk) 06:15, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There must to be at least one regional or national coverage per WP:AUD to satisfy NORG, but should be multiple. "Portland news" is local. Graywalls (talk) 07:02, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as how there isn't a suitable merge target for this page, I think the bare minimum in meeting AUD, and very easily meeting GNG should be enough to justify keeping the article. Mach61 (talk) 04:06, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which sources are you speaking of that meets independent significant coverage in broadly circulated media? Please link them. Graywalls (talk) 00:46, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oregonian (Newsbank paywall) Vortex magazine. That's three sources with significant coverage of the label, including the book. Mach61 (talk) 02:35, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with @Graywalls and the arguments made in support of deletion. Go4thProsper (talk) 17:58, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Above editors have shown the article likely passes the GNG and it meets WP:MUSIC's sense of one of the more important labels (which is no suprise, given that it was once Elliott Smith's label); a NCORP pass isn't required here, so that's plenty. The COI editing has no impact on the notability argument, and if the nice tidy discography table is courtesy of affiliated persons...we should be so lucky as to have such COI editing.

Other than bands and ensembles, there's nothing in notability guidelines suggesting N:MUSIC is relevant for music related groups. Record labels are a company whose products just happen to be music related. Graywalls (talk) 19:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inclined to agree with Chubbles here: the article is pretty much fine as-is, there's significant coverage on the subject, and deletion wouldn't benefit our readers in any way. Keep. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

keep with the sources explained above, it's not a slam dunk but just enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 23:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
AUD is satisfied with the book and the magazine/newspaper coverage. GNG is met. Oaktree b (talk) 23:51, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
