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]

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][3], Forbes [4] (which was written by a staff member and not contributor), and the book Music Marketing by Berklee Press [5]. (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]
