Armen Boladian

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article waiting under a notability tag since 6 years and almost no development for at least a year or two. No notability established. Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 21:09, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep Boladian is the subject of a 1500-word Slate article, linked to in our stub, as well as articles in Billboard and Forbes. Please read WP:BEFORE and WP:There is no deadline. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:19, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If you were not an admin I would respond you: 'What do you mean 'speedy keep'? Do you think an admin will rush here to close the discussion? Believe me it won't happen.' / As I have already seen you're an admin, I would like to question the conflict between 'There is no deadline' and 'speedy keep'. What is the hurry? Let's see what others will opine. Regards. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 21:38, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it needs to be shown whether Boladian has notability beyond Bridgeport Music - if not, then just merge with Bridgeport Music. Sorry Malik, I have not looked to see if those Slate / Billboard / Forbes articles do show this notability - but if you are voting keep maybe you should do that to strengthen your case.

 * Keep I have added a few references from WP:Newspapers.com and HighBeam and given his sustained coverage over the years and meets WP:BASIC. I am One of Many (talk) 06:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * But there is still almost nothing in this article that should not also be in the Bridgeport Music article. BTW, rather than Westbound Records being in the 1st sentence, should it not be Bridgeport Music given that it was founded a year earlier (also by Boladian according the Wikipedia article on Bridgeport Music) Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:22, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Bridgeport Music. The Slate, Billboard, and Forbes coverage mention Boladian, but are really coverage of Bridgeport. There's very little here that isn't already in the article on the company. --Michig (talk) 06:51, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
