The Vanity Label

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A, well, vanity label, more or less, that may have been used by The Format, or may have amounted to nothing. The false hit level is obviously high but I'm not finding anything significant other than the bare association of the band and the label, and I note from our article that the band quit within a year after this label was announced. I'm not utterly adverse to merger to the band but by general commercial standards it seems to me that this would fail notability entirely. Mangoe (talk) 15:21, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - unless it can be WP:V the label actually issued material by The Format. If so, then Merge and redirect.  In any case this has no notability outside the band that made the label for their own purposes.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 23:32, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: yes, the label did release material by the Format (one studio album, and a couple of live albums and EPs, plus reissues of their previous product on the major label that dropped them) – looking at the covers of these records online, the name of the record label is clearly visible. But that doesn't confer any notability on the label at all, and I'm not sure a redirect would be useful – Wikipedia users searching for "vanity label" will almost certainly be searching for this definition, and as The Vanity Label was 100% associated with the Format, I'm not sure why anyone would search for the label instead of the band, if they were looking for records by the group.
