The result was delete. Although Acaosr asserts without contradiction that they might be notable, right now in the article there is only a couple of sentences here and the tracklisting of a compilation album (which doesn't really belong), so if there might be enough outside coverage and other notable bands to write a real article on them, then surely someone can do so. As he says, this deletion doesn't prejudice such an article. --Sam Blanning(talk) 15:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Big Scary Monsters Recording Company

 * Comment They have released loads of records. I dont know what to vote either way here but fyi, they are one of the medium to bigger UK independent labels and have limited distribution to record stores. their ex act, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly was signed to Atlantic this year and another of thier acts, Yndi Halda is probably notable enough for inclusion. They are pretty well known amongst uk indie music. (can't sign on as I'm at work, username is User:amists
 * I'm giving this a Weak keep. I don't think giving Get Cape Wear Cape Fly his first releases is enough of itself but they're home to two or three full-time international touring acts and some of their recent releases have enjoyed the attentions of the BBC and The Guardian. A record label can only ever be as notable as its artists and this label is a borderline case but just (and only just) on the right side of the border for my cash. Ac@osr 17:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Keep this page! The label has released many great bands, not just Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. See www.bsmrocks.com for evidence of that. An important UK indie label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.170.203 (talk • contribs) 10:36, 12 October 2006 — 82.5.170.203 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - the quality of the music isn't being discussed and isn't relevant. I hate Coldplay but I don't deny their notability. There are plenty of bands/labels I love but wouldn't attempt an article for. The question is whether or not the label is, at this time, of encyclopedic value. If it isn't now, it may be in six months time so a delete is not fatal and binding forevermore. Ac@osr 16:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
