Jarrah Records

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:NOTINHERITED. As a standalone company Jarrah Records fails Wikipedia's company guidelines, having a minor musical output. The article is puffed up with the personal backstory of the owner, including him owning a bar, but none of that makes the label important. Geschichte (talk) 19:29, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. This is a difficult case. What is clear is that we would definitely not want a redlink here - we would not want deletion, but rather a decision about redirecting, merging, or keeping the article, since a convenience pointer to the clearly notable bands Jarrah releases would much better serve the reader than a redlink. (As such, AfD isn't really the right venue for this conversation, but...here we are.) Jarrah only has two bands on its roster, and as far as I can tell has only ever had two. If there were only one, or if one of them were substantially responsible for its visibility, that would be reasonable grounds for a merger into that band's page. But Jarrah is split cleanly down the middle between the two bands - the label is co-founded by the two bands, and both substantially contribute to its visibility. No single merge target arises, and so it would be a disservice to readers to redirect only to one of them. In such circumstances, a fleshed-out and well-referenced article of the sort we have now is the best solution. Chubbles (talk) 12:45, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I've had a look at the article's sources and find sufficient description in at least four independent reliable sources. Enough to pass WP:ORGCRIT. As for the article being puffed up: I dispute this. I believe the history of the organisation is important, detailing how the owners met and worked together.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:20, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, this was the first independent Australian record label established by an artist/artists that achieved domestic and international success. As a result a number of other Australian artists started setting up their own labels to release their work. It is well known within the music industry that without the pioneering efforts of Jarrah Records that other artists would not have gone down the same route. Satisfies WP:GNG and is not puffery.

 * Keep per Dan arndt. Not sure why this needed another week to establish consensus. Deus et lex (talk) 21:31, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
