Non-notable company. Only newslistings are blogs and zines; fails WP:NORG. Even then, the references are passing and in no way in depth; this lack of WP:DEPTH and WP:PERSISTENCE in coverage = failure to meet WP:GNG. — O Fortuna^{velut luna...} 12:01, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: this is a band, not a company, so the notability standard it has to clear is WP:NMUSIC, not WP:NORG — and at least in theory, they do have a nominal pass of NMUSIC #8 for having garnered a Polaris Music Prize nomination. Granted, that can still be not enough for an article if they prove entirely unsourceable besides nominal confirmation of that fact itself — but I'm withholding judgement as of yet because nominator clearly measured the topic against the wrong notability standard, so the sources will have to be reviewed a second time since NMUSIC is a different test.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete It is not so simple as to whether this is a band or a company, it appears. They seem to be both a record label/studio and a group of affiliated artists that the label/studio hosts. If they were clearly one or the other, then there would not be enough under the applicable SNG's to consider keeping. As it is, however, I think we have to consider them under both WP:NCOMPANY and WP:NMUSIC. Using that standard, I still don't believe that there is enough significant coverage or that the prongs of NMUSIC are satisfied, with the possible exception of #5.
