The article is an example of what Wikipedia is not - a directory. It is a fork of the unofficial 'Monstercat Document' and 'genre sheet' which are not relevant to this record label and does not accurately portray the label for what it is.

"The standard on Wikipedia, as I understand it, is that record labels generally don't have list articles of their entire back catalogs (there is not a Rhino Records discography article for instance), but should instead populate categories. In this case, it would be Category:Monstercat singles and Category:Monstercat albums." - Mendaliv, 2016. This still holds true. Prizyms (talk) 22:13, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Rewrite, not remove. There are at least five articles on Wikipedia directly related to Monstercat: Two articles for their compilation albums 001 - Launch Week, 002 - Early Stage, and three wikipedia pages for songs released on the Monstercat label: Alone, Faces, and Saving Light.

 * Comment - There is also a large amount of wikipedia articles on artists who have released on Monstercat, some of which include: Aero Chord, Aruna, Au5, Bassnectar, Darren Styles, Dirtyphonics, Draper, Fractal, Gareth Emery, Grabbitz, Haywyre, Jauz, Krewella, Marshmello, Mr FijiWiji, Muzzy, Nervo, Pegboard Nerds, Project 46, San Holo, Seven Lions, Slushii, Snails, Timmy Trumpet, Varien, Vicetone, and Wolfgang Gartner. Clbsfn (talk) 00:36, 3 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - Artists who have released, collaborated, featured, or remixed on Monstercat not placed in the official Monstercat rosters, but have wikipedia articles of their own: Andy C, Cash Cash, Chali 2na, Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Dani Deahl, Ducked Ape, Eden, Elizaveta Khripounova, Excision, Getter, I See MONSTAS, Juliette Lewis, Kerli, Klaypex, Modestep, Monarchy, Morgan Page, Morten Breum, NGHTMRE, Pierce Fulton, Rusko, Talib Kweli, Taryn Manning, Teddy Killerz, Terravita, Tommie Sunshine, Virtual Riot, Xilent, and 12th Planet.

 * Comment - And just for the record, I'm only arguing for the existence of a wikipedia article on Monstercat, as the label is significantly notable to have its own page. What I am not defending is putting a long list of Monstercat's releases on its page. A more viable option would be to simply create categories for Monstercat albums and Monstercat songs.

 * Keep. The entire article as a whole should not be deleted whatsoever. It should be rewritten or something along the lines of that. It is more than definitely notable enough for Wikipedia. OblivionOfficial (talk) 16:07, 5 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - obviously notable as a record label, and meets GNG. AfD is WP:NOTCLEANUP.  What should have happened is a discussion on the talk page about whether the artist roster (it's not a discography) should be included.  Does it meet WP:V?  Is it a list, and therefore not everything needs an inline citation?  Good points for discussion, but the article shouldn't be deleted.    78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 16:20, 5 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - It is notable enough to have a page. May need some editing, but that's it. Micro (Talk) 23:15, 5 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - I would agree that this is a sufficiently notable entry per the sources. Modify to remove any aspects that may not be entirely appropriate in their current form, but keep the article. ToddLara729 (talk) 12:37, 6 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - The page looks like it was cleaned up a lot. I don't know who exactly was trying to add a list of every single Monstercat release, but the nomination for deletion should be removed, and the page should be left alone with only edits to things like the history and roster.
