Three Blind Mice (record label)

Non-notable record label, no third-party reliable sources to find. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 12:06, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not meet notability criteria. Vicenarian (talk) 14:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails notability per WP:CORP. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 06:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, while I can't find anything either, it seems that there might be more coverage, in Japanese, off the Internet, for this company. Because I'm mindful of systematic bias in cases like this, I think this article ought to be redirected to Japanese jazz. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 03:57, 23 May 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Keep Important hip independent Japanese jazz label from the 70s. Is a whole chapter (pp. 199–211) of William Minor's book Jazz Journeys to Japan, University of Michigan Press, 2004. See also Charley Gerard, Jazz in Black and White, U Mich, 1998. Brief indications why this label matters are in Kirchner's Oxford Companion, Taylor Atkins' Blue Nippon and the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Japanese Culture. Then look at trade magazines and Japanese sources like Swing Journal etc. 86.44.31.11 (talk) 05:24, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per 86.44.31.11's sources. See Jazz Journeys to Japan for example. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep, I have a couple of albums on this label bought here in the UK. A search for "Three Blind Mice label" brings up 243 ghits and I suspect that there are many more sites out there (I included the word "label" after the name so as to differentiate from the song and the band. Add to that another separate 71 ghits for references to "Three Blind Mice record label" in a sentence together, although this also includes this Wikipedia article.

*Comment. I would go for keep if the references you've found are incorporated into the article, so as to establish verifiable notability. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 14:59, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- No, your comment is in effect a "keep". This process is for determining whether an entry is viable. It is not "Articles for Improvement" and you cannot compel others to improve viable entries on threat of deletion. You have as much responsibility as anyone else to improve articles, and here you have already done less than many. Please understand these points, they are important to your work in this area. 86.44.32.209 (talk) 16:32, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please address any concerns about me specifically on my talk page or via email. An AfD page is for discussing the deletion proposal of an article, not a person. Thank you. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 18:54, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment' Previous comment withdrawn due to objection. My reasons for deletion of the article, as stated above, remain. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 20:55, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sources are there, and they are good. We must work on incorporating them into the text, and expanding it, of course. Vicenarian ^{(T · C)} 21:32, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
