[edit] Mr. Lady Records

Mr. Lady Records (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

A tiny record label that went defunct in 2003? Non-notable, surely. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Note: I think Proto has done a marvellous job of improving this article and it is only for the sake of process that I am leaving this AfD open. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

*Delete - does not assert notability. Fails WP:V and WP:RS. Moreschi ^Deletion! 21:18, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - striking vote after excellent cleanup job. Bravo! Moreschi ^Deletion! 19:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, not sure how this can meet WP:CORP and, as per Moreschi, zip on WP:RS. Budgiekiller 21:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Proto's excellent work. The Rambling Man 08:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC) (the artist formally known as BK).
• Very strong keep. The record label is (or rather, was, sadly) notable, being one of the first feminist / lesbian record labels in the souther states of the U.S.A., and being recognised for this. The label distributed records by numerous notable feminist bands, including Team Dresch, Le Tigre and The Butchies. It is tricky finding multiple reliable non-affiliated sources over the net for a indie label that went defunct in 2004, but I have done so, I believe:
  • First reliable source - a July 2004 farewell to the label from Discorder, the online magazine of CITR-FM ([1]).
  • Second reliable source - [2], a flyer and background biog of the label (from an independant source) preceding a show on their video art work at the Weisman Art Museum in 2001.
  • Third reliable source - article on the Independent Weekly about the label - [3]

  I have also found another 5 or 6, all of which have also now gone into the article, but the three above are particularly solid. Article already asserted notability, but definitely does so now, and is now reliably sourced. Article passes WP:CORP easily, with the subject meeting criteria 1 (The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company or corporation itself). Please review the article again in its updated state. Proto::► 00:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per Proto's overhaul. Note: It is sometimes considered courteous to let the original author know that the article they created is up for AfD. – Bubba HoTep 07:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - after protos excellent cleanup job. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 12:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I will not do so myself, but could another admin close this, perhaps, given the nominator has effectively withdrawn their nomination? Proto::► 13:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Clear Keep, particularly with reference to the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival debate ( which is a notable debate for trans people, and which we should certainly be documenting ). WMMartin 19:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
