I can't find significant coverage for this record label. Joe Chill (talk) 16:40, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Weak keep. The label has some notable artists and releases, but I found no significant coverage to suggest that this meets our notability criteria. --Michig (talk) 16:49, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The label has some notable artists and releases. 3 references on google news Ikip (talk) 00:37, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That doesn't meet WP:CORP or any other guideline. Joe Chill (talk) 01:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think those sources are referring to this label. And it doesn't look to me like the artists are notable. Cinnamon is a bluelink to the spice. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree. Just as a movie studio is notable for making hit films, so is a record company notable for having hit artists.   D r e a m Focus  16:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't necessarily say "hit artists" is justified here. Edan is clearly notable, Andrew Thompson probably so, Mighty Casey doubtful, others probably not. There's a fair amount of coverage of Edan's releases, but the coverage says little or nothing about the label. If any significant coverage can be found please add it. Perhaps against my better judgment, I'm changing my view to a very weak keep as while our guidelines suggest deletion, this article adds information that could be of benefit to the reader - the information is verifiable via reliable sources and it would be ok as a stub. There is some coverage in the Chicago Tribune (5 May 2006) which mentions Mike Lewis starting the label to release Edan's music, so there's at least one source available.--Michig (talk) 17:03, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, article fails to establish notability per WP:CORP. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:57, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep — I have added references and better categories. Some of the artists listed have Wikipedia articles already. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 16:01, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no significant coverage in independent reliable sources Duffbeerforme (talk) 02:09, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
