The result of the debate was delete. Redundant with extant category, this article is of little use to the encyclopedia. There is an apparent consensus among established users to delete this. — Phil Welch (t) (c) 17:57, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

List of independent record labels
A large list, which has also had some maintenance issues (see the article's Talk page). Categories are better for record labels than lists. Delete. kingboyk 23:29, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, per nom. This is why we have categories. -GTBacchus(talk) 23:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Too many labels, most of which may or may not exist. Impossible to maintain.--Jslasher 23:59, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - nomination makes the case - Politepunk 07:59, 18 April 2006


 * Merge - how about you do something sensible and merge it into the list of record labels macphisto
 * Comment - because that one's up for deletion, too, and rightly so. What's wrong with Category:Independent record labels? -GTBacchus(talk) 18:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * If I may answer the suggestion "how about you do something sensible", I thought I already did. I've put work into the record label categories and nominated this frightful list for deletion. That's two Blue Peter badges for me don't you think? :) --kingboyk 01:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Work on it - This list may not be the best way, but until all record labels are proparly categorised, I think this is the best available thing. I would like to search some volunteers who help me check and categorise them all. warpozio 07:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't understand. "Until all record labels are properly categorized"?  And then what, delete the redundant list?  Why not just delete the list, and work on the categories? -GTBacchus(talk) 13:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Unless the content is actually infinite, no list is "impossible to maintain". --Gene_poole 05:51, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * why not just list the "major" labels, such as sub pop records — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.105.109.219 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete - I had previously opposed deletion because I find this a useful list of potential articles on independent record labels. However, removing it may encourage people to actually create an article in order to get an entry into the category, so I have changed my position.  I have taken a copy of the list as a working list of labels that need articles. RayGates 15:14, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
