Instant Karma (record label)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Tagged for apparently not meeting WP:CORP in July 2008. No work has been done since. Article was PRODed but it was removed by an editor who apparently enjoyed removing PRODs without giving any rationale.  Enigma msg  08:50, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, just. Guidelines for record labels are tricky to find (unless someone can point me in the right direction), but this label seems to have had a number of notable artists, released a number of notable records and is headed up by somebody notable in himself. While I know that notability isn't inherent, it seems to point to the label being notable too. Google searches are a pain, (there's some song with the same lol); but references can be found. I'll see what I can do with the article, if I don't have much luck I can always change my mind.....Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 11:34, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Point you in the right direction, certainly. Its Notability (organizations and companies), aka WP:CORP or WP:ORG. Happy to help.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:20, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I wondered if there had been a consensus brought somewhere that specifically applied to record labels? It's one of those frustrating AfD's that makes me think it should have the coverage out there but I just can't find it! Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 03:15, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, I agree, I've had that feeling many a time at AfD.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 06:40, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, fails notability per WP:CORP. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. The ref's on the page are only trivial mentions. Keep in light of the sources P.E. has dug up.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:20, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 19:38, 18 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:CORP.  Enigma msg  07:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC) Striking in light of new sources.
 * My goodness. Dylanfromthenorth is absolutely right: This is a record label started by a notable record executive that has multiple notable artists and a debut album that made the Mercury Prize short list. But what makes it notable according to guidelines here is that it has received plenty of coverage in major media. I've just now added 9 references, non-trivial mentions in such reliable sources as Billboard and The Wall Street Journal. And there are more sources out there. Keep.
