Playdough (hip hop group)

Unable to find coverage, fails WP:MUSIC - borderline WP:CSD Codf1977 (talk) 13:38, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you consider Uprok Records "one of the more important indie labels"? I worry that if Playdough fails notability, it would logically cause a cascade effect that affects Uprok Records and its artists, many of which have pages. I am not saying I am against that, I am just raising the question of notability in a larger scope than the article you are proposing for deletion. Jason Quinn (talk) 15:05, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not commenting on Uprok Records - The reason for the AfD was that the article makes no real claim to the notability of Playdough and a online search fails to turn up anything significant. The fact it was Uprok Records and not, for example, EMI is of no issue. Codf1977 (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Criteria #5 of WP:MUSIC says that if an artist has released two records for "important indie labels" then the artist may be notable. This artist has released two records. One for Uprok Records and one for 7Spin Music (previously I missed this and assumed Uprok for both albums). Both of these labels have articles suggesting they are notable and therefore "important" labels. It would therefore follow that Playdough is notable. I am not particularly found of this conclusion but it follows from the notability guidelines. The alternative, that Playdough is not notable, suggests that at least one of these two labels is not notable, and therefore more deletions should follow. Of course, these are guidelines and exceptions can be made but in this case, it seems more likely that other articles should be deleted too. Jason Quinn (talk) 18:49, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that being notable for a Wikipedia article translates into being "important" for Criteria 5.-- Pink Bull  16:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete a label being notable does not make it an "important" label for wp:music (read it again). lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
