This one has been around for a while, and it's still just an unreferenced list of artists and former artists. ukexpat (talk) 01:37, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep A major independent record label which released music by notable bands such as Coheed & Cambria, Saves the Day, Sick of it All, Circa Survive and The Color Fred. One album on the label C&C's In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 charted at #52 on the Billboard Hot 200 album chart Reference: Billboard (after the album was reissued by Columbia Records, it recieved a Gold record for sales exceeding 500,000 copies according to the RIAA Source: RIAA). Another, Bend to Break by The Color Fred charted at #8 on the Billboard Top Heatseakers chart source: Billboard and those are just two examples. I also get 115 Google News Results The fact the label released notable, charting albums by notable bands means that it is notable per WP:MUSIC. Please keep in mind that AfD is not cleanup.

 * Comment - I know perfectly well that Afd is not clean up, but this article has been in this parlous state for quite a long time. If it has done all these good things as you reference, then they should be in the article with your references. – ukexpat (talk) 13:14, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I will attempt to add these references in (I just don't know how to word them yet). Or someone else will. I feel really weird about adding things to AfDs after I vote. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 13:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * But the fact that they haven't been for a long time is still not reason to delete a perfectly notable and verifiable article.  tomasz.  14:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep, highly notable hardcore/metal record label. References will be plentiful and substantial; if they're not satisfactorily in there by the time i return from work i will do it myself.  tomasz.  14:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I would be happy to withdraw the Afd if that's the case. – ukexpat (talk) 20:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep as it passes notability guidelines. --Several Times (talk) 16:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Definitely keep - Equal Vision is a label of great significance in hardcore punk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aryder779 (talk • contribs) 22:38, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
