Hengest Records

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Tagged for notability since 2010. Non-notable small record label that does not appear to pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. I was going to redirect it but realised that there are two possible targets, Live in Geneva (Wishbone Ash album) and Victim You, neither of which would take priority. My WP:BEFORE search was only coming up with Discogs, Twitter, Spirit of Metal, LinkedIn etc. Nothing coming up in Google News, Google Books or ProQuest.

 * Delete per accurate reasoning by Spiderone. Another unnotable record label. Couldn't find anything that establishes notability. COI also applies, as the article was created by a user whose sole Wikipedia activity this was, and GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 19:59, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * In fact, Martin Looby appears to be the founder of the label as well. I can't believe that I missed that! Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:36, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, I have missed that too, actually! So, the COI is obvious as this was written by Looby himself. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 16:18, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: fails WP:NCORP. Even without the COI this struggles to demonstrate any notability: the articles for the two albums mentioned above are both unsourced so they fail WP:NALBUM, and while it's likely that coverage of albums by British hard rock bands as well known as Wishbone Ash and Saxon do exist somewhere in print form, I don't think we can pin a record label's notability on the presumed notability of two albums released on the label. It also appears that the label barely released anything else after these two records. Richard3120 (talk) 17:23, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
