[edit] Ultimate Recording Company

Delete unless notability can be provided, and the article cleaned up and formatted. As it stands, it is almost unreadable. Johnbrownsbody 16:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Nominator's contributions consist solely of AfD nominations.--TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 23:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Don't delete! Ultimate was a well-known indie label in the UK - and many of the bands on the label were also well-known and sucessful within their genres. How about explaining how Ultimate is not notable! Granted - the article needs work though... NickW 20:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete this explains why it's not notable. -->So sayeth Methnor^{Sayeth back}|_{Other sayethings}
• Merge with Planet Dog. Although this is the parent company, Planet Dog was more successful and left more of a continuing influence - GHits for "Planet Dog" Music here. I remember this label well and own several of its releases but only Senser and Levitation retain cult followings. Ac@osr 20:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - hits on Google is a shocking way of assessing the notability of a subject - and relying primarily on the web to verify a subject is similarly shoddy. Not everything of note appears on the web. Verifiable evidence of notability for Ultimate includes numerous physical objects - i.e. vinyl / CD / cassette releases - of successful bands. How is none of this not notable (personal ignorance or lazy research excepted)? NickW 10:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no indication of meeting WP:CORP. That guideline's criteria do not include the popularity of the company's products. Sandstein 07:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete if they cared about the reader, they wouldn't dump data like that. Ad, for computers (bad ad). Widefox 02:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
