Hello, I created the article stub. I am not affiliated with the subject. The organization/record label written about has many articles about it, including citations in the entry from The Wire, a famous and influential British music magazine distributed from England, and The Guardian, a major international Newspaper. Yellow Swans (talk) 17:32, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Revisited: I've added releases, list of artists on the label, links to those artists' Wikipedia pages, and made clear reference sources to articles and interviews with The Guardian, The Village Voice, KCET, KPCC, Resident Advisor, and more. All of this should help with notability. Yellow Swans (talk) 01:56, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Keep. Enough good coverage to demonstrate notability. --Michig (talk) 07:17, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep perhaps as this may be enough to keep for now. SwisterTwister talk 22:21, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
