Talk:Country Turtle Records

... and I always thought Wikipedia being an encyclopedia where information is provided even for things not available elsewhere on the internet and thus helping people who search for information about little known facts - but that may have been my false belief ;-)

My motivation for building a "Country Turtle Records" article (stub) has been simply because the sister record label "Mamlish Records" dealing with Don Kent's blues output should be supplemented by its sister label founded to release country music ... Both existing articles (Don Kent, Mamlish Records - which I built in 2006) have never since been doubted for their notability !!!

 * Meanwhile I have added a Country Turtle Records discography to my American Music site - so in case those wise here folk decide against Wikipedia "notability" people wondering about information about CTR may find what they're searching for via google ...

 * Don't know if I referenced the statement "CT was the first label to release The Dixon Brothers' prewar recordings" in a proper way --- therefore the following explanation: 1. All prewar Dixon Brothers tracks are listed in ; 2. The track lists of CT-6000 and CT-6002 are given at ; 3. By comparing all the tracks listed in the first source with the CT track lists of the second source you may easily find out, that CT re-released some of the prewar recordings; 4. The information about all the vinyl and CD re-releases of the Dixon Brothers' prewar material can be found at ; 5. Knowing the release dates of all the re-releases (CT 6001 in 1973, all others later) it becomes clear that Country Turtle was the first label to re-release The Dixon Brothers' prewar recordings - n'est-ce pas?
 * This may sound like "original research" --- For me it's just putting three and three together ! StefanWirz (talk) 13:28, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Tags added
I have added a couple of tags to this page because the article relies on a single source (which was stated to not be a reliable source per this diff ), plus the article needs significant third-party sources.  ArcAngel    (talk) ) 18:25, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * ArcAngel, after your Afd (and your 2nd RFA) failed, why not turn towards positive actions like creating an article or adding your knowledge towards existing articles ;-) This here article about the Country Turtle label still doesn't "rely on a single source" (just count the references) and has - since you first started this deletion and notability discussions - been added by quite a few references from reliable sources like the Allmusic and the JEMF Quarterly reviews (see my arguments above and in the Afd discussion) --- Additionally your attempts to prove the non-notability of that label's founder Don Kent and its sister label Mamlish Records seem - to me - to cross the border to ridiculousness (sorry to have to say that) StefanWirz (talk) 12:05, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
