The result was delete. Consensus is clearly delete. I am not closing as soft delete because the article should not be restored in its current condition, but if good sources are found I will be happy to restore to user or draft space. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 20:54, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The bands it releases and those that perform there are likely notable. However notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and the store/label itself lacks multiple independent RS to establish notability under WP:NCORP. A search does not find it. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:12, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lots of trivial or SPS sources.Slatersteven (talk) 15:17, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - WP:GNG is not met, as all claims of notability are based upon passing mentions. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 15:19, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Aside from the record label, some record shops are notable if they have a national reputation and associated press coverage (Category:Music retailers of the United Kingdom). At the moment I only see local press[1][2] and directory listings though I've not checked newspaper archives or music press. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:01, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: this is one of the best-known independent record stores in the UK, and has been in business since 1981. Like the rest of the record shops selling physical product, its heyday was in the 1980s and 1990s, which means if there are any sources out there, they are almost certainly going to be in newspaper archives – recent online sources are going to be thin on the ground.

Keep pending a source search per Richard3120. Not opposed to deletion or relisting if that comes up empty. —⁠烏⁠Γ ^(kaw) │ 23:30, 07 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as I cannot locate any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. I'm open to changing my mind if references can be found. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:42, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
