I'm not an expert on the history of candle light records, but I would like to point out the ridiculous ness of some of the criteria's for deletion, in wikipedia obviously need revision. This record lable, has several well established bands, in small, but not mainstream subgenre of rock music. Much of Rock, especially punk, metal, and their respective subgenre's are largeley independent, and lack notoriety outside of their respective genres, and much knowledge of this music is only held within the resective genre's audience, it doesn't mean the band hasn't had impact on music. Deletion standards need to be revised, for music articles considerabley, especially since modern music is not always well documented, because academic work on the genre's tend to be limited, and noted music magazines, largeley focus on popular music, as opposed to music as a whole. It is also absurd that articles that were voted for deletion, include bands whose first album release placed them in the Billboard charts ect. In regards to candle light records, it should be noted that, the artist produced by label, are fairly well established with in their music genre, and the genre itself is a wideley recognized subgenre of metal music and that should be enough.
I don't know where to put this but ther should be consideration for a new type of test when deleting bands, called the my space and purevolume hit count test. Since many band's who do not use radio to make record sales use these. websites.
In the case of the band Opeth they have gone on several world tours, and have a myspace hit count in the 600,000 with close to 90,000 listed friends.
