Dumb Drum Records

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unnotable label, avoided a CSD because of unsourced claims that an album charted, yet a google search could not verify this beyond mirror sites of this page- https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&ei=8XeLWpiWA4WJggf344KoAg&q=%22True+Independence+II%22+%238+charts&oq=%22True+Independence+II%22+%238+charts&gs_l=psy-ab.3...3925.6836.0.7083.2.2.0.0.0.0.67.127.2.2.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.6LRAjzN1ZzI Hoponpop69 (talk) 01:22, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - Per nom. London Hall (talk) 14:25, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Generally speaking, it's no longer possible to verify an album's Chart Attack placement, as the actual chart histories didn't survive the Channel Zero switchover — it's weirdly still possible sometimes to find individual radio stations' tracking submissions to the charts, and occasionally it's possible to source the fact to another newspaper or magazine mentioning it, but the actual fully tabulated national charts are gone gonzo gone. But even if we could verify the chart placement, it's actually a non-IFPI-certified WP:BADCHART that doesn't count toward getting an album or an artist over NMUSIC's charting criterion — where verifiable, it can be mentioned as a supplementary fact in an article that's already cleared our notability standards on other facts and other sources for them, but it's not an article-clinching notability claim in and of itself. And there just aren't any reliable sources being cited here at all — I was able on a ProQuest search to find a glancing namecheck of the label's and album's existence in a "concert listings" blurb for two non-notable bands who happen to have been on the compilation, but that's not enough.

 * Delete - kinda hard to add anything to what Bearcat stated above. I often argue against the WP:NOTINHERITED reasoning for record labels, because a record label is notable because it produces notable music/artists.  However, in this case the article tries to inherit notability by naming notable individuals who are peripherally associated.  There were no signed artists.  No verifiable sources back the claim it had a cultural impact.  Non-notable as a record label.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 15:07, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
