Jade Tree (record label)

A record company that fails to establish notability per WP:CORP with significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Notability and references tags removed with no improvement to article. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 11:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Looking at the label's roster, most of the bands are bluelinked, and several are big names within their own particular genres. Obviously, notability is not inherited but that's usually a good indication (it also fits in with WP:MUSIC's definition of an important indie label; "an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable"). A look on Google Books puls up a few hits as well. For instance, the first is this one; there's no preview so I can't tell how trivial the mention is, but it looks like a fairly academic text. There's also MaximumRocknRoll and several others in there (search here). I'd be willing to bet there are plenty more out there as well. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 12:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Article about the label from The Boston Phoenix here, interview with the founder in Detour Magazine here, another here, and here... I could go on, but these are all from the two pages of a Google search. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 12:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a perfectly notable indie rock label. These seem to get targeted for AfDs once in a while because their acts don't "chart". But that's the nature of small indie labels. Hairhorn (talk) 15:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable label with a history of notable artists & releases. The book Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo devotes most a chapter to this label and gives an account of its history & significance. --IllaZilla (talk) 01:11, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
