Contested PROD. Original reasoning was: Blatant WP:PROMO; fails WP:NCORP. While on second look the promo is not obvious, the second part of the reasoning still holds.

 * Keep. Since the prod reasoning was repeated, I will repeat my contestation: "Certainly not blatant promo, since the founder appears notable, and with six potentially notably signees could qualify as an important indie in WP:MUSIC's sense. It's possible there is walled-garden activity here, but it's not clear to me (a nonexpert on African pop) that's happening". Certainly, there is no reason for this to be at AfD (to create a redlink here), since at worst the applicable action would be to merge into the founder's article.

 * Keep: The record label qualifies for inclusion based on the founder's notability and its potential impact within the independent music scene, aligning with WP:MUSIC guidelines. While the presence of walled-garden activity is uncertain, it does not justify deletion without concrete evidence. PushaWasha (talk) 06:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - according to it is the largest label in Tanzania.  Additional coverage at, , , , , .  It is fairly clear that the label is of significant cultural importance in Tanzania, that it meets GNG, and would qualify as "one of the more important indie labels."  78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 01:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Record label certainly appears notable enough, especially after seeing 78.26's findings immediately above. CycloneYoris talk! 09:25, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
