Motile (record label)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Twice declined WP:A7 and was also a contested PROD. It seems the main reason this hasn't been deleted is because Robert Jarvis, who released one album through this label, had won an award at the British Composer Awards but notability is not inherited as per WP:NOTINHERITED. Companies need to pass WP:NCORP and WP:GNG and I can see no evidence of that for this label. According to their website and Discogs, this label has only ever had two releases. My WP:BEFORE search did not yield any coverage about this label that could be considered as direct and in-depth coverage so I cannot see how this passes NCORP.

I checked British newspapers, news coverage, books and tried a couple of search engines. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 15:18, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete not even close to enough sourcing to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:24, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and JPL. How many of these non-notable record labels are still there? GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 04:41, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * - I'm about halfway through the UK ones at the moment but am only nominating the absolutely blatantly non-notable ones. Funnily enough, almost all of them had been PRODed in the past but had been contested because of presumed notability. I have skipped over about 20 or so that probably fail the guidelines as well but where there might be some weak claim to importance or notability but where the evidence is still lacking. It's not helped by the fact that there isn't really a clear guideline for assessing their notability. I am holding them to GNG and NCORP but many in the Wikipedia community would believe it more appropriate to hold them to NMUSIC and assess their influence on music, in the same way we would a rock band. Motile fails NMUSIC, GNG and NCORP so should be deleted regardless. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:04, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
