Keep 8-( Disappointed to see a name from long ago once again reduced to such a lack of WP:BEFORE.

This is a record label with a 20 year history and a prolific back catalogue. We're not asking that nominators listen to it, but at least recognise that others do. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:44, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I used to see big posters for this all the time in the Underground but I see that its brand image of "Hed Kandi girl" has changed now. See Campaign for an example of coverage. Andrew D. (talk) 14:40, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: before the label was bought by Ministry of Sound and completely stripped of its identity and blanded out, Hedkandi (or Hed Kandi, as it used to be called) produced one of the most popular series of dance compilation albums of the early 2000s. This article from Mixmag gives a good summary of their achievements [1]: UK top ten singles (here's the chart history of StoneBridge for example, showing their two top ten singles on Hed Kandi [2]), and number-one albums on the UK Dance Albums Chart [3], [4]. Here's an 2002 article from Music Week (the UK equivalent of Billboard) discussing Hed Kandi's growing profile at the time [5]. And there's bound to be coverage of the label and their albums in print versions of Mixmag and DJ Mag from the early 2000s. Richard3120 (talk) 20:54, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
