 * Keep - My own metric for indie labels — which others are free to take or leave — is this: does the label have WP blue-linked artists on its roster? This label has four that I count. Each of these pages needs in-links and this is a logical source for them. This particular page features a coherent and useful discography; sort of borderlinish in the total number of releases, admittedly, but still enough going for it that I can't see a good reason for deletion.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak Keep - Sources are available, but most of them do more to establish the notability of specific bands, and only mention the label in passing. I'm not completely convinced the label has attracted enough attention in its own right, so it might boil down to a question of whether being the label for several notable bands confers notability or not. --Korruski (talk) 14:58, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or perhaps Merge with Apollo Sunshine, for whom it appears to be essentially a vanity label. 10 releases in 7 years doesn't indicate notability to me, especially since all the artists attached (aside from Apollo Sunshine) are really minor.

 * Keep – There are citations now to a number of reliable sources (I added one more) in which there is brief, but non-trivial, coverage of the record label. In a way, these short record label articles can be considered a variant of lists in mainspace—"List of bands signed to Black and Greene Records" for example—which seems reasonable when there are at least several notable artists in the list.
