User:nearlyevil665: There is an article on Asian Improv aRts in the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, published by Oxford University Press. Grove is the most important encyclopedia in music studies. Yes, I know the page is currently a stub, but this is a really important company that helped to launch the careers of Jen Shyu, Vijay Iyer, Miya Masaoka and others.

User:nearlyevil665: I want to second Msumeric's comments. The label is a significant one for jazz history and Asian American history. Beyond the Grove encyclopedia article, there are a number of scholarly articles on the label's artists, including those mentioned by Msumeric, so there is plenty of evidence to support the label's importance.
- Note: This second unsigned comment is from POIpoke00, whose first and only edits were made today for two pages, namely Jon Jang and Francis Wong, both of which are the co-founders of Asian Improv aRts. I am assuming good faith and not implying sockpuppetry, but I thought it would be meaningful to make this observation. nearlyevil 665 20:19, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

- Weak Keep I added a source from the SF Examiner. It seems they are more of an arts sponsoring org than a record label now, and there is an affiliated group in Chicago (AIR Midwest). Hard to find sources other than mentions as sponsors/organizers of events, though. But I think it could be edited and improved by someone with subject knowledge so that it meets WP:ORG.
