Music Brokers

Record label doesn't seem to meet WP:NCORP - lacks in-depth coverage in independent sources. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:45, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music, Companies,  and Argentina.  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 00:50, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Keep: Music Brokers is the biggest indie label in Latin America with offices in many countries, including United States. They launched the famous project Bossa N Stones and had in it has released album from Diego Torres to Vampire Weekend. The article is a stub and needs a lot of work, but has relevance.--Ocatarinetabelachitchix (talk) 12:59, 13 November 2022 (UTC) sock strike- MrsSnoozyTurtle 07:33, 28 November 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment right now it's a strong delete, but the organization may have not trivial and not online only coverage. --Morpho achilles (talk) 16:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC) (sock strike Liz Read! Talk! 20:23, 21 November 2022 (UTC))

 * Delete This is a company therefore we follow WP:NCORP guidelines for establishing notability and that means we need references/sources that meet these guidelines rather than opinions on whether they're the "biggiest indie label" or whether they'd a famous product. I'm unable to locate any references that meet (or come close to) NCORP criteria.  HighKing++ 16:14, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:PROMOTION; does not meet WP:GNG, let alone WP:NCORP. The English Wikipedia article contains no secondary sources, except for MusicBrainz, which in turn cites this Wikipedia article, which strongly suggests WP:CITOGENESIS. Although the Spanish and Portuguese Wikipedia entries for Music Brokers do cite secondary sources, these are primarily articles about specific albums, with Music Brokers mentioned only in passing. Similarly, although ProQuest turns up a few dozen hits for the Argentinian "Music Brokers" (not to be confused with the Canadian label called "The Music Brokers"), these are mainly mentions in passing. The one focused piece on the actual company I have found so far is the very recent (28 November 2022) 25th anniversary press release, which is a primary source and therefore doesn't count toward notability per WP:NCORP. For the purposes of promoting this music label/broker and its associated albums, it seems like there are many other websites and wikis available that would be a better fit than English Wikipedia.
