What Are Records?

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An unreferenced article on a record label that seems to have no claim to notability. Fails WP:ORG. Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 06:16, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Utterly unsourced and spammy introductory section, but a useful set of blue links below. I'd advocate a change to List of bands on What Are Records? after snipping out all the unsubstantiated royalty bull and commentary about "United Interests." This would preserve the utility of the page while erasing verifiability issues. As for notability, there seems to be little taste among wikipedians for gutting out popular culture from the encyclopedia. Utility as a source of in-links trumps rigid adherence to notabilty guidelines in this case, in my opinion. Carrite (talk) 16:48, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Mostly a list of links. No reliable sources. Non-notable company. --John Nagle (talk) 19:47, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: If a purported record label isn't notable - and it isn't - then its alleged roster of bands isn't, either. Even if the article was "useful" - a suggestion for which no evidence has been tendered - relevant policies and guidelines do not allow utility to trump notability ... quite the reverse. No reliable sources, and none to be found. Ravenswing 16:24, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
