Street_Sounds_(record_label)[edit]

(a) page title not as name was commonly used (one word),
(b) article so filled with spam and irrelevant information it cannot be saved,
(c) much better article now available [here] Centrepull (talk) 12:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed my mind on the redirect vote. The article was clearly salvagable as the nominator wrote a new article (could have done that over the existing article and then moved it). However, at least two of the references (one of which is the company's official website) gives the label's name as Street Sounds (with a space)[1][2]. I'm no longer sure what is best with regard to this nomination. --JD554 (talk) 13:44, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this one for the name, which matches their own website, but transfer the better content from the other article over. Then create redirect from the other to this one (regardless of plausibility of it as a search term). Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 12:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I realise now that it would be best to delete the dreadful content, and insert a redirect. I had the relevant background to sift through the content, but the article was so badly written that I had to start from scratch. That's what I meant by 'article could not be saved'.

The relevant point about the name 'StreetSounds' is that the article is about the original (famous and culturally significant) 1980s record label. Discogs is not authoritative on this issue, and the current 'Street Sounds' label is a revival after the original went bust, and is not particularly notable. The label owner may well have changed the arrangement of the name. I am searching for more verification. Centrepull (talk) 06:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
