Non-notable company (tagged >3 years). It has always been little more than self-pronouncements and lists of releases. A db-corp was declined as having a list of notable associated performers is a potential claim of notability, but notability is not inherited. DMacks (talk) 05:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - Notability is not inherited, but record labels are known for the product they release, and by those releases their impact on musical culture. That said, I'm not convinced this label has a significant roster of notable artists.  The Union Trade may be notable, but the label was started by that band, so in and of itself having this band on its roster does not help establish its notability.  The Stripmall Architecture article does not mention the article at all, and the album mentioned in the Tricycle Records article is unsourced, so it fails WP:V.  The Blacks (band) also does not mention the label, and likewise their entries on the Tricycle article are unreferenced.  Everyone Is Dirty at least features that they are on Tricycle Records, but I'm not seeing by the references that this band is notable.  Therefore there is one notable band, directly tied to the label.  It therefore not "one of the more important independent labels" by WP:NMUSIC #5.  An effort to find significant coverage in independent, reliable sources revealed only directory listings.  The label therefore fails WP:GNG as well insofar as I can tell.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 15:55, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. This is the best coverage I found. Local and not particularly in-depth. The label seems to have local significance, but I'm not sure there's enough to support an article. --Michig (talk) 08:12, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
