Keep--I respectfully challenge the AfD proposal for Diamond Records without explanation and despite the citations and the hits the label had. I have a feeling that this is a nuisance proposal as the proposal was created by a newbie who created his/her WP account before starting the AfD proposal as you can see from.

 * Keep. Although one might question the Angelfire-hosted webpage cited in the footnotes, the article also has multiple reliable sources from Billboard, and the company had enough of a track record to suggest that it was indeed notable. I note that the label founder, Joe Kolsky, is mentioned as a "legendary heavyweight" in a book about Elvis ; and according to the visible part of his Newsbank-paywalled Miami Herald obit  he later came out of retirement to manage 2 Live Crew, so he might be a reasonable subject for his own bio, if someone has access to the appropriate sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:51, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep -, , represent coverage found from Billboard.  Given that the label formed and ceased before the advent of the online internet era, I suspect more offline sources exist. -- Whpq (talk) 18:13, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
