Gomek Records
Non notable "record label" (actually a website, kind of a free vanity publisher for bands). "Gomek Records" gets 22 distinct Google hits. Gomek gets a lot of unrelated hits. Threat signal (their notable artist) gets 21 distinct Google hits in combination with Gomek. In fact, Gomek is not a record label, but a kind of webhost. Everyone can place their demo's, songs, ... on their website if they match their quality requirements. There is no contract, no record, no promotion, no exclusivity. See []. As such, they have had until now one band wo put a previously released demo also on their website and later went on to record one album (which in itself seems not enough to match WP:MUSIC for that band. Some people have gotten to know the band through Gomek, which is good, but as can be seen from the Google hits, this is only a small part of the exposure the band has gotten and is hardly relevant in their career, let alone as a reason to have an article on this website.

 * Delete as above. I'm not entirely sure that the label's namesake is worthy of an article either...? Perhaps that should be added to this AfD. Onebravemonkey | blah blah blah 10:31, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: it would probably be better if Gomek became a redirect to Crocodile (all info seems to be there already), or was just deleted, but that is a separate issue. I'm not against mass AfD's (I've donea few myself), but they should be about very similar articles (content and so on). These two have the same author, and one is named after the other, but they are completely unrelated and would have a quite different AfD logic. So I'm not going to include Gomek in this AfD.

 * Comment: Yep, i completely agree. I only went to the other article because it was referenced in a way that suggested it was well known. But yes, it's not applicable to this AfD and i wouldn't want to confuse matters and subvert the AfD process. Onebravemonkey | blah blah blah 10:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
