Promospam. No sign of meeting WP:NCORP. More than 100 sources, most of them refspam, and nothing that's actually about the company. bonadea contributions talk 20:36, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete — Echoing, now if a relatively unknown organization requires 120+ refs to prove their notability and their notability status is still in question then they probably aren't notable after all. Celestina007 (talk) 21:29, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Was not notable in 2018. If it were notable in 2021, it wouldn't need to reference-bomb this with 126 sources.  Created in both draft space and article space as possible tag team.  Does not identify any specific basis for notability.  Robert McClenon (talk) 03:33, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete The article is a horribly ref bombed mess to stuff that doesn't even related to the label. Also, the article was created by a blocked sock. All that should be enough to justify deleting it. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:19, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - Though the article wasn't notable earlier in 2018, but is notable now in 2021. It is not an unknown organization anymore. Regarding the over-referencing thing, it could be solved by removing particular ones and improving the article. It is a promising article, should be kept and improved. ManaliJain (talk) 13:02, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: Recently most of references were removed to improve the article and reduce ref. spam, kindly consider checking the same once. All the present mentioned sources are related to the respective label. ManaliJain (talk) 13:21, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment The article history is a bit of a tangle. It was created in 2018 by a sockpuppet of a prolific sockmaster and deleted about a week later after an AfD discussion. It was recreated in 2020 by a sockpuppet of another prolific sockmaster, and deleted after a couple of weeks as a recreation of an article deleted in AfD as well as a sockpuppet creation. It was created as an one-sentence draft by an IP in April this year at Draft:Desi Music Factory, then that draft was expanded quite a lot and submitted for AfC review in September. Two days ago, it was re-created in mainspace, not by the editor who had created the draft, but identical to the draft, so clearly a cut-and-paste move. That is not very common, except when it is the same user who created a draft and who has tired of waiting for it to be reviewed. The reason we can see all this in the article history is that there was a histmerge. --bonadea contributions talk 14:36, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete It's true that it doesn't meet WP:NCORP. But I do want to highlight that I feel our guidelines for production companies or any companies producing creative work (Publishers, Movie producers, record companies) are slightly biased. WP:NARTIST and WP:NACTOR grants notability if they have multiple notable projects. Same is not true for an organisation. It might appear to many that producing work that becomes notable would grant notability to production companies but it doesn't. So no prejudices against those who gets confused with it. Coming back to article, definitely a promo piece and doesn't meet our current guidelines for organisation and companies. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 03:14, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Incubation Request/Suggestion - Kindly incubate the article and move it to Drafts instead of deletion, so that the article can be improved more till it meets Wikipedia's quality standards. ManaliJain (talk) 06:32, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That would have been an option if the problem had only been with the writing or something else that could be fixed by rewriting and revising the text. However, when a topic is not notable, no amount of editing can make it so. --bonadea contributions talk 08:59, 8 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Can't find any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability as per WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 13:50, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
