Non-notable records label. No sources found. Forbes in particular is a contributor piece, the rest are fluff and PR items. Oaktree b (talk) 20:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Music-related deletion discussions. Oaktree b (talk) 20:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, England, New York, and Oregon. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:56, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Will give you a better deep-dive of sources later, but I want to preemptively say that out of all the non-notable labels that try to weasel their way into Wikipedia, CD Baby is not one of them. Without even looking at the page before writing this, I can vouch for their notability. Here is a small collection of sources from Music Connection [1], Billboard [2], Forbes [3] (which was written by a staff member and not contributor), and the book Music Marketing by Berklee Press [4]. (I also do not like how you did not mention the New York Times article used in the article.) No offense, but this is a pretty bad candidate for AfD. Why? I Ask (talk) 21:37, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
