I think this qualifies as Notable - the label has international distribution and works with many large independent label musicians. It's every bit as notable as any other small label, and I think it should stay. I'm removing the 'Notablility' tag - what do you guys think needs to be added?
Hey Folajimi - I'm not really clear on why you're so intent on having this entry deleted. I didn't create this page, but I have worked on trying to keep it up a bit, and I can't figure out it's lack of notability, at least on a comparative level - there's tons of record label pages on here that are way less documented, not active, and operating on a much smaller scale. You should have allowed for combining the artist pages with this entry before just deleting them, if you were looking to cull the total number of involved pages. Here's a tiny sampling of some smaller, less notable (or equivalently notable) labels on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altarus_Records , http://www.aztecarecords.com/ , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Kornyfone_Record_Label , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drown_Megan_Records ,
and this one?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2blossoms
According to the notability guidelines I added - and intended to continue to add to - online published works, and print magazine references to the label. I realize that Wikipedia's function is not to list every single record label on earth, but this a label working with relatively major artists for the genre (Damien Jurado, Hayden at least have decently extensive Wiki entries) and is of value to wikipedia's readers as long as those artists are on here. Obviously this label is not as notable as Thomas Jefferson or something, but compared to the large majority of record label pages on here, it's significantly more relevant, and I think a quick google search for the artists that were deleted and for the label will reveal hundreds of pages of reviews, shows, and discussions and sources that support an argument for notability. The Notability: Music page doesn't really detail the standards for listing record labels at all, but if you were to apply artist criteria #4 to a label, then Yer Bird is a valid entry
"Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)."
I'd certainly consider Fargo a major indie, and they released J. Tillman's last record, and his next record is coming out on Yer Bird and Hayden has been releasing on big indies for over a decade (Outpost, Badman) and he's doing some exclusive recording for Yer Bird, and Yer Bird has worked with Matthew Ryan who released 2 records on major label giant A&M. If it's just a matter of getting some of that fleshed out more on the main article, then fine - I merged the info from the deleted artist pages and tried to include more links to other articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.207.81.106 ( talk • contribs) 21:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
