Kickin Records

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NN record company. The only in-depth coverage found was about the death of its founder (i.e. WP:BLP1E). This company worked with some notable acts, but notability of companies isn't inherited from their suppliers. The Dissident Aggressor 19:48, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Kickin Records was a fundamental recording label as well as an instrumental force behind dance music in the United Kingdom in the late 1980's and early 1990's The Dissident Aggressor clearly has some personal issues with record label and it's activities!
 * This company worked with some notable acts but notability of companies isn't inherited from their suppliers??? Then if this the case you must delete EMI Records & Virgin Records plus Warner, Creation records etc etc delete all of the record companies on wikipedia too!
 * The Kickin Records label, which pioneered early rave music, in 1988. source http://www.musicweek.com/news/read/kickin-records-founder-dies/036768 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.50.30.80 (talk) 23:50, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Companies have to demonstrate notability on their own as do people.  EMI, Virgin and Warner easily pass WP:CORP and WP:GNG while this firm does not.  As stated in the nomination, the only hint of any notability is presented in this obituary.  If the company was truly notable, there would be other coverage.


 * Just to clarify, I have no connection whatsoever with this or any record company. Please WP:AGF.    The Dissident Aggressor 18:20, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Has an entry in The Virgin Encyclopedia of Dance Music, which is extracted from The Encyclopedia of Popular Music. Topics covered in respected specialist encyclopedias are notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. --Michig (talk) 18:17, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Michig, and the amount of notable music produced by the label. How else are record labels to be judged, except by their output?  Appears to be one of the "more important indie labels" per WP:MUSICBIO #5 based on roster and length of operation.   78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 13:24, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
