Re: Da ! Heard It Records
I've taken a second look at the article, and had some other administrators review it. We believe that the deletion made was correct and in accordance with policy. The arguments you have provided do not establish that the record label is notable: I do appreciate your coming to talk to me first, however I do not believe the record label has sufficient notability for it to be restored. If you would like, I can "userfy" the article for you by restoring it and moving it to a user subpage - this will essentially give you a "drawing board" to work off of, where your article should not be deleted provided it is still being worked on. When you believe it meets our standards, you can contact me again and I can help you move it back into the main article space. If you would like this, please let me know. However, if you still believe the deletion was in error, you are welcome to request a deletion review, where members of the community will review the article and determine if my action was correct. The directions for that process are posted at that link. I, however, would strongly recommend the userfy option if you wish the article to be up on Wikipedia at some point in the future. Again, thank you for contacting me, and welcome to Wikipedia. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 04:15, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Age of a group or organization is not an indication of notability; further more, the link you have provided is a primary source (produced by the label themselves) and therefore not considered reliable.
 * The artists who have released records on this label do not appear to be notable themselves; furthermore, eight is a rather low number when discussing record labels. Also, the given source is not reliable.
 * The number of hits on a website cannot be used as a measure of notability: my own username gets over 2 million hits itself, for example. Also, one of the top hits for the record label appears to be your own blog.
 * The deletion was based on the content of the deleted article; not on other record labels. Please see this page for more information.


 * I'll restore the article in just a moment then. The general criteria for notability is at WP:N - basically, subjects are considered notable if they are covered in a non-trivial fashion (more than a passing mention) by multiple reliable, secondary sources independent of both the subject and Wikipedia. These sources should be easily verifiable by other editors. Some subjects fall under one of our more specific criteria: the most applicable one here I think would be WP:CORP, which covers organizations and companies. When you think it's ready to go, give me or another administrator a heads-up, and we'll take a look at it and help you put it back into the article space if it seems to meet our guidelines. If you need help at any time while writing it, you can add helpme here on your talk page along with your question, or leave a question at the new contributor's help page. Happy editing.

 * The page is now located at User:Mbertier/Da ! Heard It Records - there's a link to it on your user page in case you lose this one. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 00:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for your help, now let's go and try to improve this. Mbertier (talk) 10:01, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
