"Just because you haven't heard of the label doesn't mean it's vanity." The point is -- can you cite verifiable sources to prove that anyone has heard of the label? All the artists listed are redlinks (no Wikipedia articles), and there are no sources listed. I am going to give the article a proposed deletion (non-speedy) tag, which will leave you five days to find some sources. NawlinWiki 20:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If I create pages for the artists, aren't you just going to delete those for a7 just like you deleted the base article? It's unclear to me why, when I look at pages for dozens of record labels on wikipedia that look the same as this one, I need to prove that anyone has heard of the label. I could put links to online reviews, places that the discs are available, references to magazine print articles, playlists for nationally syndicated radio programs, or even a copy of my last friggin' BMI royalty check, but then it would start to look like an advertising page, and then it would be a prime candidate for deletion. My point is that I don't know how to convince YOU that the label is notable without making it look like an ad. And it's not clear to me why your ignorance should be the bar. So you don't pay attention to ambient music. It's not a crime. I don't pay attention to (insert your favorite genre here). So I haven't heard of half the labels that have non-deleted pages on wikipedia. If you did pay attention to this particular genre, you would have heard of Lotuspike, and we wouldn't be having this conversation. So. How do I do it? Do I put the links here? On the article's discussion page? Or in the article itself? If I put them in the article, won't that turn it into an ad? What about these? Will they be deleted? I generated this list by clicking a few labels chosen at random. Actually I don't think these should be deleted. In particular the DGM page warrants particular interest here because the page is guilty of all the sins you accuse the Lotuspike label page of, but is of obvious interest because of the Fripp/King Crimson Connection. What, you say? It's obvious that they are of note, because everyone has heard of Fripp and King Crimson. Likewise, I contend that anyone following ambient music has heard of Lotuspike. Djehutimusic
