A7[edit]

STATicVerseatide proposed this for speedy deletion as non-notable; my understanding is that a record label is deemed notable if it has a roster that includes some notable artists. I admit it's a circular process in terms of notability, but this outfit seems to have quite a number of notable artists. (I also admit it's a terrible article!) So perhaps AfD is the way to go--or article improvement. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 02:18, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No big deal, but true it does have a few notable acts so A7 might not apply. There is just something about unreferenced articles that irk me, for all we know a majority of the notable artists might not even be signed to the label. STATic message me! 04:16, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

True dat. I put in a few quick references and will start pruning that list. I hate articles without text anyway--they look like marketing. Also, I had no idea that there were this many Dutch hip-hop acts; there's only one for me, and that's the Osdorp Posse, but I'm so old skool they don't make the parts anymore. BTW, the one act I referenced was South-African; I thought that was noteworthy. Drmies (talk) 04:30, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, almost at DYK length. Drmies (talk) 05:33, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
