Non-notable music record label. I’m surprised this hasn’t been deleted since 2018, as it has zero reliable references. It is unclear how this label meets WP:NMUSIC, WP:MUSICBIO, WP:MOS RL, or WP:GNG. Afro 📢Talk! 05:28, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

- KEEP, there are enough refs to keep this item. It is a pathetic page at the moment because nobody has bothered to really pout good work into it.

There's more. And there's notable artists signed to this notable label. Its only real crime is that it is needs more work. And easily done if someone puts in an effort. Cheers Karl Twist (talk) 08:58, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Karl Twist The reference you provided does not demonstrate that this article meets either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NCORP, as it contains only brief mentions and lacks significant coverage or in-depth discussion of the subject. I am willing to withdraw my nomination if in-depth significant coverage is provided. Afro 📢Talk! 09:06, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there. Two of them seems to be very useful. I have run out of time, but I'll say that there are multiple RS links that rate Taurus Musik as a prominent label. They do have also notable artists in their roster as well.

- @Karl Twist I have reviewed the source and still don’t see how it helps this article meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:NCORP. Having a notable artist signed to the label does not automatically make the label itself notable. There are countless notable artists signed to non-notable labels, and simply being associated with a notable artist does not confer notability. In this case, the argument seems to be that notability should be inherited due to the presence of notable artists, but we need significant coverage SIGCOV of the label itself to meet the GNG.

- These sources are not sufficient. MusicInAfrica is a promotional source (see
Disclaimer: Music In Africa provides a platform for musicians and contributors to embed music and videos solely for promotional purposes.
) Chanters Lodge is a website for a resort that appears to post spam articles. Ommydalla, AllAfrica, Modern Ghana are WP:ORGTRIV. Kenyan Vibe (even if we assume it's reliable, which it doesn't appear to be) is not SIGCOV of this company. None of these sources meets WP:NCORP, which is required here as record labels are not covered by WP:NMUSIC. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:31, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
