Sound devastation records

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable record company. Don't let the blue links fool you. Only Black Boned Angel could conceivably be considered a notable band, and I'm not sure about them. I'm thinking about nominating them for deletion, too, if reliable sources can be provided. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 20:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Fairly new to this, apologies. I think that there are bands on the list of releases who are notable. However, I accept that some are not. I would like the opportunity to reduce the number of releases given in the table so there are less non-notable releases - That could improve the quality of this article.

 * I want to add that some of the bands on this label are actually notable indeed within their scene.


 * For example, Amenra are notable for having toured with bands like Battlefields and having a US release out on Init Records. Ehnahre feature ex members of Kayo Dot. Fall of Efrafa are a notable band originating from the crust/punk scene. Nadja (despite the earlier comment that they are non-notable) have toured with bands like Khanate and Isis and feature Aidan Baker (well known solo artist) and have released albums on Alien8 and also Profound Lore Records. Nadja are very well respected in this scene, and in some ways more well known than Black Boned Angel - does the commentor have enough knowledge about this scene to rate Black Boned Angel better and more notable, when by many they are considered the lesser?


 * Future releases on the label include Blackstorm, who feature Karl Middleton - notably of Earthtone9. Also Year of No Light will be appearing on the label shortly, which in themselves will improve its (the label's) notablity.


 * All these names which appear on the label are well known in their neische metal field. They are notable for that.


 * I do concede that many of the released on the label are far from notable. I can easily remove these. I merely wanted to document what I knew before I removed any. I can also begin stubs on those artists who are more notable, and so help create a more informative section within Wikipedia. My aim was to begin furnishing orphaned or uncreated websites/stubbs with information on a scene which is not well represented within Wikipedia.


 * I add that the article I wrote was in every way objective, with no bias for the kind of music I listen to. However, I think it would be a shame not to have this kind of music represented within Wikipedia. Kimaddison (talk) 23:45, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

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


 * Delete, fails notability per WP:CORP. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. While some of the bands on the label may be notable, there is nothing to show why this company has stand alone notability.    Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 08:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – I cannot find anything providing any coverage about the company itself that can establish why it may be notable on its own. Remember that notability is not inherited through its children subjects and topics. MuZemike 18:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
