Non-notable record label. Of the 3 pages of google search results, there is nothing that is simultaneously reliable, independent and has significant coverage. Wiki Macaroons^Cinnamon? 15:10, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, at least under the rationale given by the nominator. The WP:BEFORE here should necessarily include a search for Portuguese-language sources, since this is a label founded in Macao that releases Portuguese traditional and folk music. The pt: article doesn't have a ton of additional sources, but it gives sufficient context to suggest the label does enough of cultural importance to merit encyclopedic mention, and so I'd want a Portuguese-language search for sources to come up dry before agreeing that deletion is the right way to go.

Delete – The subject does not have enough news coverage. Available portugese media coverage includes a few interviews and profiles. Mysecretgarden (talk) 04:14, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The statement in the above comment suggests the subject of the article is covered in multiple Portuguese sources. Chubbles (talk) 09:37, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject (article) Fails WP:GNG & WP:ORGCRIT current refs are mostly directories & institutional profiles not independent significant coverage and per WP:BEFORE a proper Portuguese lang search should be done given the subject cultural context but unless such reliable sources are provided. The article does not establish notability. Thilio^{R O B O T🤖 talk} 17:31, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The label/publishing house has issued a number of records and books considered of historical value. Very significant coverage in Portuguese Journal of Musicology, new series, 9/1 (2022) ISSN 2183-8410 (p. 179-182 & 186)(PDF available online but you need to look for the article "Entre tradição e criação: Dinâmicas das pequenas editoras de música popular de matriz rural em Portugal no século XXI" by Pedro Belchior Nunes because I cannot paste a link for some reason) See also https://glosas.mpmp.pt/10-anos-de-edicao-fonografica-de-musica-erudita-em-portugal-parte-i/ & this list of articles related to the label in Sábado indicate the historical value of the works published/released; the founder and head of the company has been interviewed in various media, all indicating this too, through the journalist's or commentator's commenst, for example: https://www.barlavento.pt/arqueologo-da-musica-portuguesa-soma-6700-discos-de-78-rotacoes/ ; https://revistas.udesc.br/index.php/tempo/article/view/11695 ; https://casadamariquinhas.pt/primeira-gravacao-porto/ -More sources exist regarding the records, books and Moças, and probably about the label itself. --e.ux 20:32, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per the sources identified by Eva Ux. Additionally, the UCLA library includes it in its ethnomusicology research guide and there is coverage in Nunes Ramalho, Maria de Lourdes; Nóbrega, Evandro da (2002). Raízes ibéricas, mouras e judaicas do nordeste. Editora Universitária. p. 130. ISBN 9788523703141. Rádio Universitária do Minho also made a nearly hour long documentary on José Moças and the Tradisom record label he founded viewable on YouTube (see [1]).4meter4 (talk) 20:46, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per review by 4meter4 & Eva UX. Zalaraz (talk) 01:20, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This label is obviously more notable than it first appeared. Clembedorio (talk) 06:10, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The english sources need work but there are notable sources in portugese. Also it appears to be a record label devoted to keeping the tradition of Portuguese folk music alive and seems to be an important resource for musicologists. Agnieszka653 (talk) 16:50, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The review above seems to justify inclusion per WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 22:24, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
