Banter Records

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable organisation. No assertion of importance, or significant coverage in reliable sources. Pontificalibus (talk) 22:10, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I am a fan of Banter Media's music, and live in the Manchester area. They do a lot with the underground scene here, not all of which is online. I think you'll find if you follow the facebook link on the page there is plenty of evidence for this company being notable in the UK. I follow Banter Records and Banter MEdia's work very closely, as do many people in the UK. For this reason, I have created the Wiki entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steelyad (talk • contribs) 22:33, 13 December 2010 (UTC)  — Steelyad (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment Well, facebook isn't exactly a reliable source ;)-- Piast 93  23:45, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Also a fan of Banter - I follow the director "Liam Andrew Wright" closely and keep his Wikipedia page updated - I know of Banter Records but not a great deal. From what I've heard they work with small acts in Manchester and help them get their stuff recorded ready for major label interest. They definitely did release the Green & Gold single - I bought it! as did a lot of other Mancunians! Definitely of interest - Lot's of talk about this stuff on forums such as Red Issue and Red Cafe. Not sure of links at the moment but I could find themNon-notable organisation. No assertion of importance, or significant coverage in reliable sources.

 * Delete. Banter Records appears to be a common name for various record labels, but I can't find any reliable sources about the English one. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:17, 14 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Not remotely notable. Most of the references in the article are MySpace, Facebook, youTube, blogs, etc. Various searches have also failed to provide any evidence of notability. For example, a Google search for "Banter Records" Stalybridge produced only the Wikipedia article; a search for "Banter Records" "Ashton under Lyne" produced the Wikipedia article, a facebook page, and various pages on www.bantermedia.com, and that was all. Very similar results came from pairing "Banter Records" with other names and phrases from the article. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:40, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Liam Andrew Wright. Can't see any case for notability, but that aside, almost all of the information in this article is either someone's opinion or not reliably sourced, or both. The few bits of factual information seem to in the Liam Wright article, and any other bits of information that anyone wants to preserve can go there.
