Captains of Industry (record label)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A minor indie record label, now defunct. No independent sources except one (press release?) from an Indie chat magazine which is probably not actually a reliable source. Guy (Help!) 08:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Released albums by major bands and being defunct is not a reason for deletion. I added some more references. the wub "?!"  20:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Two refs form Drowned in Sound. Is that reliable? It says "material", not albums. Guy (Help!) 23:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, Drowned in Sound is a major music website and generally considered a reliable source for music articles. See for example these previous Afd discussions - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. As for releases, You Are Being Lied to and The Politics of Cruelty are both full length albums, and there are probably others. the wub "?!"  14:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The label released albums by several notable bands. Sources can be found that establish notability; not much specifically about the label but it can be found in coverage of the bands that were signed to the label. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 15:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but tag with Template:Refimprove, as it is quite probable that there will be some more mainstream citations available that connect the label with the stated artists. It is generally accepted that notability is not inherited, but I would argue that the label played a role in the rise of the noted bands and that on the basis of that notable role the article may be kept.  There is a valid argument related to record labels that parallels the 'article on album by notable artist - OK' argument stated as "In general, if the musician or ensemble that recorded an album is considered notable, then officially released albums may have sufficient notability to have individual articles on Wikipedia." I am certain that this will not satisfy all people, which is why I am offering my opinion here rather than closing this AfD. P.S. I have added Template:Infobox Defunct company and change the tense of the opening sentence. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 00:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Ceyockey. --John (talk) 20:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
