Rekabet Records

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This company's speedy deletion was fiercely contested back in 2008 and, honestly, the article probably should have been deleted back then. As far as I can tell, this record label only existed for a couple of years and has never had a notable artist on its roster, so I'm not really seeing any claim to importance under WP:NMUSIC here. The other way that this could be notable is if it meets our company notability criteria, found at WP:NCORP. Firstly, none of the references in the article actually address Rekabet Records in any depth at all and a WP:BEFORE search covering Google Books, Google, Google News, ProQuest and DuckDuckGo came back with no reliable sources on the company. It does not even look to pass WP:GNG, which is a much lower bar than NCORP. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 11:31, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - I concur with the nominator's statements, and commend the nom for looking through the article history. I can't find any sources for this.  It wouldn't surprise me if at some point someone wrote about this label because of the airplay, but I can't tell that anything independent has been written about the label to this point.  Most of the claims ("surprise hit" "resoundingly successful") are unsourced, and the sources listed in this article are primary to the artists listed, and further are casual mentions.  As a music researcher/discographer, I'm generally in favor of keeping record labels that have had an impact on music culture, and there is some indication this label had minor impact, but the article fails WP:V in most aspects aside from the 6-release discography.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 13:33, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete provided sources are passing mentions, not about the label, but about the artists. Lesliechin1 (talk) 10:02, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 19:22, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
