Keep or Merge. I'm confused as to why this was taken to AfD at all. The nominator initially redirected it to a list page of EMI sublabels, which I reverted because it was not subject to any discussion, nothing was merged, and the target had no information about the label. The nominator then immediately brought it to AfD, when the obvious thing to do would be to start a merge discussion; I mean, for Pete's sake, this label put out full lengths from people like
Frank Black,
Shannon McNally,
Charlie Sexton, and
John Hammond Jr., so of course we don't want a redlink here.

Keep. the record label has released many well-known songs (which Chubbies mentioned) and there is some important information currently in the article. Freedun (

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Please remember to sign your comments and if you are proposing a Redirect or Merge, identify a target article. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!21:56, 2 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Delete - Although the artists associated with Back Porch Records clearly pass the
WP:NBASIC threshold, the label can't inherit that notability per
WP:NOTINHERITED. I was able to find a couple mentions:
Aspen Times and
Billboard but those are just mentions. Seems like Back Porch Records itself might best be served as mentions on Universal Music and/or Virgin Records pages?

Comment Recent !votes for delete have surfaced (the NOTINHERITED concerns are misplaced, I think; there's no reason for us to cover a label but for the fact that it published notable artists), but why would we prefer a redlink over a merge to the parent label?

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Final relist. If this article were Merged, what would be the Merge target article? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!23:24, 9 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Why is redlinking this title preferable when there is a clear merge target? (Leaving aside that the label certainly meets
WP:MUSIC's sense of an important indie label.)
