Non-notable record company, Zero News Coverage, 500 google hits, all self promotion, fails WP:CORP WilyD 16:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, a record label owned by some guys from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. They are notable as fucc. Recury 16:49, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep as labels created by major artists seem to be within WP standards. Either that or nominate Heiress Records next. GassyGuy 18:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Frankly, I'd have no problem with deleting a record company that hasn't released a single record, or at least merging it to Paris Hilton WilyD 18:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment In the case of Heiress I actually would support a merge, as it currently has one single to its credit + one forthcoming album, all by the same artist. ThugLine has a more substantial base, but I've actually weakened my keep as I can only find a small number of notable albums on the label. I don't think it merits deletion, but perhaps if an appropriate merge target can be found... GassyGuy 18:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. While it might be related to established artists, until they've got more than one release (uh, and even the one there hasn't dropped yet, right?) then it's not notable. Onwership by notability doesn't cause notability: I'm sure the guys from BOne Thugs own homes, too, but that doesn't make those homes notable enough for their own articles. -- Mikeblas 12:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, but WP:MUSIC says that their side projects are. It's referring to other bands they are in, but I don't see why other labels that they own shouldn't count too. Recury 13:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • They actually already have a few releases... Thug on Da Line, Gemini: Good Vs. Evil, It's Not a Game ... maybe more. Like I said before, it's not a lot, but it seems enough to stay. I would still support a merge if an appropriate target can be found, but, barring that... GassyGuy 18:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
