This article makes no claims of and show no proof of notoriety. The one reference it does have is not reliable per WP:RS. A citation needed tag was added in December of 2008 but no reliable sources have been added. I tried to find some myself but it's hard with the name 'Grave Digger' as its shared. I'm going to prod this article for deletion discussion. OlYellerTalktome11:30, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It clearly passes the WP:MUSIC criterion for multiple albums on a notable independent label, in this case the highly notable Nuclear Blast, GUN Records, Napalm Records and Noise Records (feel free to check their rosters and longevity if you want to question that). The article clearly needs more sources but AfD is not clean-up. To be honest, regardless of the band's name, checking the labels the albums are released on is not actually a problem in Google.

I'm of the opinion that none of those labels are notable. All of the mentioned labels' pages either have no references at all or are referencing their own websites (Facebook, Myspace, etc.). Of the bands I checked out that are listed under those labels, none of them are notable either and either have no references or are referencing their own websites again. If I had the desire, I'd start a discussion regarding the notability of all of the labels, their bands, and their albums. I haven't seen a single source that's reliable under WP:RS. As for searching for the bands albums on Google, I didn't have much luck. If you did, please add those as references on their respective pages. The tag on the top of the page was notifying the article's author and editors that it had no notable sources and needed them added or it could be up for deletion. At some point, that deletion has to come if citations are not added. The AfD was not a clean-up request, the tag was. OlYellerTalktome21:20, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I find it kind of laughable to think that Nuclear Blast is not a notable label. And pray tell what is YOUR conceived notion of a notable record label? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.186.190.52 (talk) 05:04, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
