Failure of WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:NCORP. The company didn't belong to one particular individuals and there's no specifically suitable redirect target, thus should be deleted. Graywalls (talk) 17:22, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think this is one of the more important (punk) indie labels, with a sizeable roster. The search results seem to be skewed somewhat due to the label being setup by band members of The Vandals. Speaking of which, as an WP:ATD, in the worst case sceanrio, then redirect to the band. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:36, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is one of the more important (punk) indie labels, umm ok, but do you have significant, independent, reliable sources attesting to that and covering about THE COMPANY, the RECORD LABEL, in details as required to meet NCORP? Graywalls (talk) 08:01, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 07:30, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have found and added more sources, including the Hollywood Reporter. Although many are not in-depth, some are about the company (such as lawsuits) or mention the company. In google news, you will see many pages of info coming up about them and they also had Blink-182 on he label once. Several of the bands also are notable and have Wiki pages.

The bands released through this label being notable does not make a difference per WP:INHERITORG. Graywalls (talk) 18:33, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nominator claims that, because there are three possible redirect targets (The Vandals and the two members of the Vandals who founded the label), no single redirect makes sense, and so the only reasonable action is for us to turn this into a redlink. This makes no sense - it actively makes the site less informative, less interlinked, less user-friendly for enthusiasts in the area of interest. The commenters above are, implicitly, gesturing toward WP:MUSIC, which, again, makes much more sense as a yardstick than WP:CORP for labels (again, a band is unquestionably a for-profit corporation, but I'll eat my hat if we start applying CORP to bands). This is a label big enough to make CMJ for its legal activities (for Pete's sake!), and it was a feeder label for some quite noteworthy pop-punk bands of the Nineties. It's plainly encyclopedic, and if the misapplication of CORP and ORGIND and INHERIT are keeping us from seeing that, we should ignore them. If there is some other action (such as a merge) that anyone wants to pursue, feel free - but this is the wrong venue for that. Chubbles (talk) 13:43, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per Chubbles and all above, should qualify for CORP now with coverage in reliable sources. Peneplavím (talk) 03:58, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
