Eightball Records (US)

There is a complete lack of reliable secondary sources. Jacona (talk) 14:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - This page was just started and due to certain circumstances, it definitely shouldn't be deleted. Also, "reliable secondary sources" are irrelevant as a reason for deletion, especially when one of those sources is All Music Guide. The original article had information about a non-existent Australian record label of the same name. I (however) changed the article, under the assumption that it had false information, with the information of 'this page' only two days ago and added a reliable sources along with their website. However the edits were later reverted and split into two different pages by User:Dl2000. However I have not had the time to proceed with further edits as I nominated Eightball Records (Australia) for deletion with hopes of moving Eightball Records (US) --> Eightball Records after it was over. After research, this article does have secondary sources in the mix. Here are Billboard magazine articles mentioning Eightball Records (US), some of their musical releases, and development of the label including change of A&Rs., , , , , Adding those to article definitely proves notability.

 * Comment - Since Eightball Records (Australia) has been deleted, I propose that Eightball Records (US) be moved to Eightball Records. Horizonlove (talk) 21:49, 9 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - I was trying to do some quick research as to why the Australian Eightball Records was deleted. It was probably properly deleted, but wow did I come across a lot of sources for the US version.  This label has been written about in both Billboard and CMJ, giving it notability via GNG, and if those magazines are writing about it the label almost certainly has cultural significance.    78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 20:49, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 *  Keep or redirect - Keep or redirect to DJ Smash. --Jax 0677 (talk) 03:37, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I don't know what is going on with you and these redirects, but I think this article is far too good for that. It definitely meets the WP:GNG requirements. Perhaps you should review the complete history to get better understanding of why this page was nominated as I briefly explained above. Horizonlove (talk) 14:13, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 *  Reply - I would like to see the article kept. If that cannot be kept, I simply want the history kept in tact. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:28, 16 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - as per above. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   12:39, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
