[edit] Manna Music Inc

Manna Music Inc (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

I was looking through wikipedia the past hour and thought that this article wasnt notable and is a probable copyright violation.--Pookeo9 (talk) 18:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep They seem remotely notable, but the article definitely needs to be improved as it does not really cite any third party sources.I feel like a tourist (talk) 19:12, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep while there are not a lot of good sources on the web, that is not surprising since this company has been out of business since before there was a web. Because of the notability of many of the label's artists, I think it passes WP:BAND. As for it being a copyvio, that is of course a huge problem, but the nom has not explained why they believe it to be one. Beeblbrox (talk) 20:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment The first section is indeed a light rewrite of http://www.mannamusicinc.com/mmi.htm, although since that is mostly a series of lists in paragraph form it may just barely pass muster. The second section sounds very similar in tone but I can't find the original. Both may originally stem from album sleeves or some other print source produced by the publisher. The article needs a complete rewrite and should probably be moved to Manna Music with a redirect from Manna Records. --Dhartung | Talk 21:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I have re-written some of the page. I have also included more references, including info from ASCAP on the song "How Great Thou Art" and showing that Manna Music Inc owns the song. If there is any more that I need to do, please let me know. -- Steveund | (talk) 03:31pm Pacific Time 18, April 2008

  • Delete per Stifle.Divinediscourse (talk) 23:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Citations, reliable sources and verifiability are all grounds for improving this article. They are not acceptable grounds for deletion per WP:DEL#REASON and WP:BEFORE. I quote from the latter: If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a good candidate for AfD. The only relevant issue to consider here as far as I can see is whether the subject is notable. Winning an award for Gospel Publisher of the Year from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers strikes me as being notable enough. --Bardin (talk) 08:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
