Perhaps Aaron Simpson deserves an article, but Simplify Recordings is not notable. I hope I’m not mistaken but this very long list of artists and releases and recordings do not include any notable individuals. - SHARPER IMAGE ^(talk) 23:23, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The article looks like an attempt to drum up musical notability, but the proper notability guidelines in this case are actually found at WP:COMPANY. Those guidelines say that no company is inherently notable and an article requires evidence of significant and independent media coverage that is about the company itself. This record company is not notable because some of its artists found various levels of success. I agree with the nominator that founder Aaron Simpson could qualify for an article, but the media simply has not covered this company in any reliable way. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:49, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is a PROMO article, with what seems like an obvious COI. I agree that it is an attempt to puff up notability. As of today now artists are starting to add themselves to the article, likely for promotional reasons. This is not what the encylopedia is for. They need a good website instead of using Wikipedia for that purpose. Does not pass WP:NCORP criteria, and the sourcing lacks WP:CORPDEPTH significant coverage. General notability fail.
