I am bringing this article about a record label based on simple WP:CORPDEPTH. Beyond that, at least one of the artists claimed to be released on that label is now PRODed as not meeting WP:BAND. While the person who created the label might be a notable artist, the label itself is not. § FreeRangeFrog 01:06, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I found it hard to believe that a label with releases by notable artists (e.g. Actress, Zomby, Lone) would fail our criteria for inclusion, so I googled it. There isn't much independent coverage of the label itself (more of its artists and/or founder, as the nom suggests), so I can understand why it's been brought here for discussion. There is some coverage though: there's a fairly decent feature article here (which is already included in the article) from XLR8R, as well as some news coverage from Fact Magazine. The same news story appears here, covered by The Quietus, and here, where Clash describe the label's back catalogue as "slim but influential". The label was also described by Allmusic as "one of the most revered dance labels". That same news story was reported in lots of other places, if that makes any difference. Admittedly, that doesn't add up to much, but I think it might be just enough to keep. — sparklism  hey! 12:42, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
