 * Keep How is Element 9 a non-notable company? The company has been nominated for a Grammy award & released 2 albums through Fontana Distribution/Universal Music Group. What more does a record label have to do in order to be considered "notable?" If you apply the criteria used to determine if a musician is notable, Element 9 certainly meets the qualifications listed by:
 * Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself
 * Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.

 * Comment If we applied the criteria used to determine if a musician is notable, Element 9 might meet the qualifications. However, Element 9 is not a musician. It is a corporation whose products include notable musicians. This should definitely be taken into consideration when assessing notability, but does not by itself qualify the company as notable.

 * Comment The company has provided sufficient evidence to establish notability as determined by WP:CORPDEPTH. Depth of coverage is established through the use of multiple independent sources, many of which are intended for a worldwide audience that have published non-trivial articles pertaining to Element 9. --75.187.204.229 (talk) 14:56, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. A Grammy nomination goes a long way to establish notability, and there certainly appear to be sources discussing the company. I'm concerned that the original author is named "Element9hiphop", as that might indicate a conflict of interest or a POV that bears examination. But the article itself seems OK.
