No indication that this is a notable business per WP:CORP or any other. Notability is not inherited from represented/recorded artists. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

• Delete as a non-notable label. While it is true that notability is not inherited, it is important to note the characteristics that make a record label notable, which is namely the material the label releases. Having multiple notable artists is a strong indication of notability for a record label, which is different than inheriting notability. That said, this label does not have multiple notable artists, does not seem to have impacted musical culture in any way by genre impact or length of history. Therefore this is a non-notable label. The references are either all casual mentions, or PR pieces. In particular the USA Today piece is an advertisement, not a newspaper article, pay attention to the email address of the "article" author. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 13:21, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
