Curling Legs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Boutique Norwegian record label that appears not to have any in depth coverage. Appears to have < 150 total releases, although a reasonable proportion of them are notable (an even higher proportion have articles in the local language wikipedia). There is a local language wikipedia article, but it has even fewer references than the English-language article. It's conceivable that there are Norwegian references that I'm not seeing, since I don't speak Norwegian. Stuartyeates (talk) 04:11, 6 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - my Norwegian isn't great but I can read it. Curling Legs have launched some rather good Jazz artists like Solveig Slettahjell, Morten Halle, and Bugge Wesseltoft. That alone might well be enough to demonstrate a notable Jazz label; Jazz afficionados will I think recognize several more names in the list. In the news, many items are of course mainly about the label's albums, but Dagbladet.no and Ballade.no treat Curling Legs as headline news. There are several other Ballade.no news items including one about its director. Bergen Puls is quite rude about the sort of music Curling Legs puts out, but again it makes headlines.

 * Weak keep per Chiswick Chap and WP:POTENTIAL. Does not currently meet the WP:GNG but the large number of notable artists released under this label does give a good impression that notability might be established with a bit of work, as per WP:SOFIXIT. Vcessayist (talk) 00:25, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks ... note that notability per GNG etc tests whether sources exist - they do - not whether they're in the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:32, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - Please note that a blue link is not the same as notable. The author has created a huge number of articles about Jazz in Norway with questonable notability. Mentoz86 (talk) 12:02, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I added a few refs for individual issues on the label (there are obviously many more), and they have issued the first recordings by several artists who have become prominent. More quantifiably, recordings on the label have won Spellemannprisen at least 4 times - one article said 4 times by their 50th CD issue in 1999. Repeatedly winning the top national award for recordings documents notability for a record label. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:41, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems to have some notability. Eeekster (talk) 21:02, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
