Radar Recordings
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Once again we're at AfD for this article. Self published sources (Own website). Main grasp for notability is that the label is self financed and that they've had some groups that are somewhat notable in their artist list. Not seeing a substantial reason for keeping this article. Article was re-created in August after the AfD, was redirected to Will Benoit at the end of August, and de-redirected on the 16th of December. Still feel that this article doesn't establish notability so doing annother check to see if the community agrees. Hasteur (talk) 20:03, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

 * keep Recently added some reliable references from outside sources. Main grasp for notability is Radar Recordings success in finding and elevating relatively unknown bands to the greater public attention from the art rock and experimental rock genres through community support (artists on the label self finance and run the label). In that respect, creating a page for Radar Recording is appropriate as it marks the interconnected relationship that these separate groups share to give readers who view the page a better sense of why these artists frequently tour and collaborate with each other, which includes the involvement of the more notable bands on the label. Redirecting this page to Will Benoit, one of the co-founders of Radar Recordings, is insufficient for showing this. Phiberoptiksblack (talk) 22:33, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Most of the content is paraphrased directly from Radar Recordings' site. The only extrernal citations are a LastFM page (which according to the Reliable sources Noticeboard is not reliable), a Ticket selling site, a local music magazine that appears to be fan driven and not subject to editiorial review, and a user submitted blog/review of an event at SXSW.  The local muscic magazine does lend some notability, but not enough to justify having an article for the label when most of the content is copyright suspect. Your reasoning for the keep suggests a promotional interest in having this article remain. Hasteur (talk) 14:32, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
