 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I'm not sure there is sufficient agreement for a close but there is certainly grounds for further consideration
 * Comment: I'll agree that there's little in the way of information available online, but Junior Boy's Own is unquestionably one of the key labels to emerge from the UK's acid house scene of the late 80s and early 90s, with many charting singles and albums from notable groups. I'd be very surprised indeed if there weren't articles about the label itself in print versions of various dance magazines like Mixmag and Muzik from the 1990s, before the internet. Could arguably form part of a wider article about the Boy's Own collective that started out as football fans who discovered dance music and put out twelve issues of a fanzine, before going on to found the record label – see here for an overview of the Boy's Own story .

 * Björk, Chemical Brothers & Underworld released albums through this label. Just check the link at warpozio (talk) 17:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has a half-page entry in The Virgin Encyclopedia of Dance Music, which is extracted from The Encyclopedia of Popular Music - inclusion in a print encyclopedia is good enough for inclusion here. --Michig (talk) 20:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep A 1998 Billboard article describes the label as "one of clubland's most revered labels". In addition there is the encyclopedia entry noted by, and a small but substantial amount of coverage in Spin, CMJ, and the Guardian. It appears that CORPDEPTH is indeed met here.
