Smallman Records

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completely unsourced article about a small (no pun intended) independent record label. Record labels are not accorded an automatic presumption of standalone notability in the absence of proper reliable sourcing just because they've had notable artists on them — to qualify for a Wikipedia article, a record label has to be the subject of enough media coverage to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. But on both Google and ProQuest, I can't find any coverage about the record label at all — all I get is glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of the bands that happen to have been on it. As well, there's a bit of an advertorial tint here, making it rather unsurprising that the original creator was User:Smallman records and the most frequent editor after that was User:Smallman. There's simply nothing here that gets it past our notability requirements for record labels at all, and no quality sourcing to repair it with. Bearcat (talk) 16:43, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
