Fails WP:COMPANY, as tagged by Tbhotch. Wbm1058 restored this article because the deletion by JodyB was wrong. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 16:04, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a claimed length of history, but I can find no reliable sources on this label whatsoever. Search is made a bit more difficult because of the culturally significant label with the same name from California/Mexico. There are no notable artists signed to this label in the past or present. It would not appear that this label has made any sort of noticeable cultural impact. Article in current state only gives the company motto, with no other information useful to a musicologist or discographer. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 20:27, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree with 78.26. I guess 10 years ago, I didn't really care about sources or WP:GNG for that matter! How times change. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 11:57, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Lugnuts. What were the qualities of this particular label that caused you to write this in the first place? (If you can remember in all your prolificosity.) There are several labels which might not meet GNG that I would consider notable, so if you've got anything that might save the article I'm all for it. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 00:49, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 78.26. One of the first major projects I remember getting stuck into was the List of record labels article. It had hundreds of redlinks and linkspam, and was in a pretty poor shape. I started to clean up the mess. For this entry, and looking at the article's edit history, it was originally at Azteca Records which combined the info of two different companies. I split out this one to its own article, the original renamed to Azteca Records (California) and the base name becoming a dab page. Seems like yesterday!

Delete as nothing convincing for solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 20:51, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
