Eye Industries

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable record label. While there are other labels closely resembling this, I couldn't find anything significant on this. The website is also non-functional. MT Train Talk 17:46, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

 * With regret, delete. Unless someone can actually make the British Newspapers Archive work and finds something there, I don't believe there is RS. The label comes up on blogs and unofficial lists of ED/trance music labels. There's a Zoominfo page for the purported founder saying it became an arm of Sync Sound (I think I recall that correctly), and a founding date of 1996 floating around the web. But nothing I could possibly cite, not even a physical location, so I don't know whether this was run out of a flat in the East End or a garage in Birmingham.

 * Delete. Utter lack of reliable sources. Nothing at all turns up in a search through WP:Newspaperarchive.com, which seems to have a fairly extensive collection of United Kingdom newspapers on file. Even that Billboard link in the article (as in the Bodyrox article) turns up archived as a dead-end. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 15:57, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:CORP. The Bodyrox single was a big hit both in the UK and on the US Dance charts, and the label had at least three other UK Top 40 hits via singles from Michael Gray and Supafly vs. Fishbowl. But four hit singles doesn't make the label itself notable, particularly when there appears to be nothing discussing the label itself. Their SoundCloud page isn't active (never a good sign for a dance music label) and the most recent upload is from seven years ago; likewise, I can't find any release on the label after 2010, which all points to the label becoming inactive around 2010–11. The best you could hope for is that there was a feature on the label a dozen years ago in one of the UK dance magazines or in Music Week... but they're not going to be available on the internet, and it's asking a lot for someone to find and trawl through back copies of the print editions of those magazines.

 * Hmm I think I wrote this out of love for Mantronix, which is always a good motivation. Drmies (talk) 21:30, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * True, but I'm not sure how involved Kurtis Mantronik was with this label – it seems to have been a couple of collaborations and a few remixes, none of which got anywhere near charting. Richard3120 (talk) 00:05, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I know, and I can't put up much of a fight, haha. It's one of those stubs that you hope someone else will pick up, and you hope there's something to pick up. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 01:19, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
