Clown House Records

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

Article about a record label, not referenced to any reliable source coverage to get it past WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH. As always, record labels are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- but the references here are a public relations blog, two of its own primary sources about itself, an Eventbrite ticket listing, and a source which tangentially verifies the existence of something else named in this article but fails to mention this company's name at all in conjunction with it. This is not how you source a record label as notable. There's also a direct conflict of interest, as the creator's username corresponds to the name of one of the company's founders.

Delete – Source searches are not providing enough coverage to qualify an article. The only source I found providing significant coverage is this, but this source is questionable in terms of reliability, in my opinion. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 02:18, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Their website is dead, their facebook page has 2 posts, the company had assets of £20 when its accounts were last made up. I'm guessing they realised there is no money to be made from giving away your goods for free - and went to do something else. Szzuk (talk) 14:58, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - and hurrah to Bearcat who attempted to analyze the encyclopedic value of this record label article beyond CORP. The nom gets this right, this record label has made no artistic or cultural impact, as demonstrated by lack of notable signed artists, lack of history of notable releases, and no verifiable evidence the label has made any musical impact in geographic or genre context. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 16:22, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
