  • Delete: Non notable. - Rjd0060 (talk) 06:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Neither WP:N nor WP:MUSIC have notability guidelines for labels (which is kind of a shame), but WP:MUSIC does state as a notability guideline for artists: "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." In the list of artists on the label I see quite a few notable artists: The Stone Roses, UK Subs, Jane's Addiction, etc. I think this is sufficient to establish the label as an important label, and thus a notable label. It absolutely does have to be cleaned-up though. Torc2 (talk) 09:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Please expand on your reasoning. - Mgm|(talk) 16:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep It is clearly notable, having signed some of the biggest indie bands in the UK in the late 80's and 90's. scope_creep (talk) 12:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. They have distribution and they have signed notable bands. That makes the label clearly notable. - Mgm|(talk) 16:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Commment most of the Google searches for "Revolver Music" + "Paul Birch" or "Revolver Music" + "Stone Roses" come back to WP (or mirrors). The only vaguley reliable hit was this page [1] that states RM was formed in 1985, not 1979 as claimed by the current article. Lugnuts (talk) 17:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There is no reason to delete it. It's also notable. --businessman332211 (talk) 17:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Revolver -> Silvertone is-to Stone Roses :: Sub Pop -> Geffen is-to Nirvana. Needs cleanup, not delete. --- tqbf 19:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
