An earlier version of this page at H.I.R.D. Music Group was speedy deleted under WP:CSD#A7. In this iteration, there is a very slight claim to fame, thus this AfD rather than speedy deletion. I can find no sources attesting to the notability of this company. Does it exist? Yes. Notable? No. The sources extant on the article are to a youtube music video, a blog, a music fan site written by 2 people with an Alexa rank in excess of 2 million, and lastly a site with an Alexa rank in excess of 600,000 where there is precisely one sentence about Andrew Grant (founder of this company) but no mention of the company. The minor claim to fame here, of getting to #4 on Hype Machine ...which is a blog aggregator... I can not verify though I have tried. None of the people/groups which have released music through this company are apparently notable either. Looking at the Facebook page for the company; it has 15 followers. This organization hasn't drawn notable attention within the music industry. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. Lastly, it appears the person who wrote the article has a direct conflict of interest, and despite being warned about COI issues continues to edit in support of his company. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:26, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
