Brainstorm Artists International

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This company fails WP:GNG as a threshold matter (no substantial coverage in reliable sources), as well as WP:CORPDEPTH, which would better indicate this group's notability. This company exists mostly in the universe of press releases, scant mentions, and rather baseless incredulous claims such as flatly calling it "legendary". JFHJr (㊟) 22:04, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Leaning towards delete - Google News wasn't helpful despite very detailed searches (adding "Ojo Taylor Gene Eugene", "record label", the former name "Broken Records" and "1987") but Google Books was slightly more helpful providing results especially one book called Raised By Wolves: The Story of Christian Rock & Roll with mentions here, p. 121, claims they were a significant label in the 1980s and began using the name Broken Records in 1985 after another label abandoned the name until that previous owner wanted it again. Here (p. 145, using the label's former name "Broken Records"), here (p. 147, minor mention), here (p. 176, text is located towards the bottom confirming the label closed in the 1990s), here (p. 180, scroll a little bit up to the beginning of the page, extremely minor mention for Lifesavers Underground album released through BAI). Google Books also found two mentions through a 1995 issue of Billboard here (minor mention, named as a distributor label for Diamante Music Group) and here (another minor mention). I attempted to search with the former name, Broken Records, but found nothing else aside from a repeat result for Raised By Wolves. Honestly, record labels rarely receive significant attention unless you are a large corporation or very well known for success. Despite being called a significant label by Raised By Wolves, I haven't found much evidence so I lean towards delete. At best, a redirect to either Ojo Taylor or Gene_Eugene would be better though I would prefer the latter (Gene Eugene#Music). Because I have found few results with the best being Raised By Wolves, I believe the current content may be somewhat or entirely inaccurate. But then again, because of the lack of other sources, I'm not entirely sure. SwisterTwister   talk  04:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
