EGO Records

Fails WP:GNG, "Alter Ego Records" and "No Ego Records" also exist, but seem to be independent of "EGO records" Kleuske (talk) 00:24, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per WP:GNG and WP:V - this article appears to be closely related to a band Grupo Exterminador which is moderately notable in Latino band scenes. While it has apparently gone by other names the core team and their volume of work seems pretty notable to me. I admit that the sourcing could be a bit stronger but there are a substantial number of books and journal articles that discuss this topic; while of course this could use a bit of expansion and updating (which I see is going on here thanks to the tireless efforts of myself and several other contributors!), it should of course not be deleted.

 * Delete: sorry,, just because the group is notable, it doesn't mean the label is notable – see WP:INHERITORG, and this label doesn't meet WP:V or WP:GNG in the slightest. Furthermore, Grupo Exterminador only released one album on EGO Records before moving on, so the label can hardly claim to be "closely related" to the group. The section about Serebro needs to be removed as well, because the Ego Music label they recorded for is a completely different label - the Grupo Exterminador label is a California-based label founded in 1992 specialising in music from north Mexico, the Serebro label is an Italian dance music label founded in 2004. So take that away and all we are left with is one non-notable album released on EGO Records – not enough for an article and failing WP:ORGDEPTH.


 * I found a history of EGO Records on a blog which details the groups signed to the label, but I won't link it here because (a) it's in Spanish, (b) it brings up pop-up windows so the website could contain viruses. Suffice to say, Raza Obrera seems to have been the most famous act signed to the label – over the years it also signed Los Ligeros de Zacateca, Los Zafiros del Norte, El Mariachi Moya, Los Ander's, Conjunto Michoacán, Los Reyes de Sonora, Reyna María, Los Compas de la Frontera, Las Magueyeras and others... none of whom are well-known names outside their specialised market. There don't seem to be any other reliable sources about this label. Richard3120 (talk) 01:59, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as not only is there not inherited notability, there's then nothing for an actual independent and notable article, with nothing else suggesting such, therefore deletion is the only option. SwisterTwister   talk  05:25, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
