Nitto Records

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I do not believe this article should be deleted, however it should not have been speedied without discussion. This was speedied without discussion or attempts to salvage. It is not originally my article, but one I stumbled across two weeks ago in my research, actually filled a gap. That it's been here several years, and has a Japanese Wikipedia article, means it doesn't qualify to have been speedied. Historic recording and publishing companies are inherently notable, it just needs better sourcing. Listing here so that discussion as to notability among the community can be held.

 * Keep. As per above rationale. It now has two references - more than enough for a 3-line article.--Technopat (talk) 06:59, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - At the moment fails WP:CORP, which is VERY clear when it says ""Notable" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance," and even organizations that editors personally believe are "important" are only accepted as notable if they can be shown to have attracted notice. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is.  If the individual organization has received no or very little notice, then it is not notable simply because other individual organizations of its type are commonly notable or merely because it exists". Willing to change mind if the coverage can be referenced. As for the accusation it should not have been Speedy deleted - at the time it said "Nitto Records was a Japan based record label from before World War II." which made no claim of significance use of find sources came up with no WP:RS and still does not.

 * Based on the most recent discussion on your talkpage, it seems you are none too careful about what you speedy, and have made several recent errors. My earlier accusation now turns to bad faith on your part, as there are clearly several steps you should have taken aforehand. Instead of trying to justify your scorched-earth methods here, why don't you dial it back a bit.--Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:43, 9 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. Fine. It may not have had any references then, but it does now. Any other reason for deleting? We all know about notability etc. guidelines here at Wikipedia. What about common sense? This is not an article created by an anonymous user raving about his/her pet "garage band" as someone put it, which is one typical criterion for speedy delete. It is an article created in 2003 by an experienced editor who contributes much knowledge on music-related articles at Wikipedia, and should not have been deleted without discussion, etc. as per Kintetsubuffalo above, if only out of courtesy to another editor and good faith.--Technopat (talk) 08:04, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Now article has been expanded and ref'd. Great work!  Lugnuts  (talk) 12:44, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep of course. Infrogmation (talk) 13:48, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Still needs some attention, but seems to satisfy the basic notability criteria now that it has been sourced. --DAJF (talk) 14:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources found. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 14:04, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
