Talk:DCide

Untitled

This page is an archive of the discussion surrounding the proposed deletion of a page entitled DCide.

DCide "is a Washington, DC based independent record label most noted for releasing various compilations of unsigned artists in the Washington, DC area." There are lots of independent record labels, given how inexpensive it is to press CDs with modern technology. This seems another case of Wikipedia being used for Google-farming. orthogonal 00:22, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Keep. We have List of record labels. Some labels certainly have much more historic importance than others, but I have no objection to NPOV articles about lesser labels if someone cares to add them. Wikipedia is not paper. -- Infrogmation 16:56, 23 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Can we find one example of a well-known band name signed to thatlabel? Someone should do a little searching on that. Wiwaxia 03:14, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  - The label published a compilation CD that included a song by Easter Bradford, who is clearly well-known. Well-known thanks to misusing Wikipedia. Oh, wait, never mind. orthogonal 09:05, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- It's v. stubby, and they don't have a huge web presence. Delete based solely on dislike of Easter Bradford stubs. Martin 19:45, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Delete. Not because it is a small label, but because it is self-promotion. That label supports eight bands. That is impressive. But the entry was not meant to be part of an encyclopedia, as far as I can tell. Kingturtle 18:08, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Delete. Maximus Rex 06:22, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Delete. Rollo 00:53, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hmm, Infrogmation is the dissenting voice - I've dropped a note on hir talk page - I wonder if sie still feels keeping is appropriate. Martin 18:58, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Having articles on things like obscure record labels, musicians, historical figures, archeological sites, sports teams, etc that there is no room for in non-specialist encyclopedias is one of the things I like about Wikipedia. This particular article is stubby; I'd rather see it improved than deleted. However having expressed my opinion, I'll accept deletion if that's the consensus. -- Infrogmation 03:01, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- I just did a little research on their homepage and Cherrywine is signed to DCide. Wiwaxia 03:41, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  - So far Infrogmation and I are the only two who have "yes" votes recorded on this page. Has anyone who voted "no" changed his/her mind since they first voted? I made the decision on November 25 that if I could find at least one artist I had heard of under the DCide record label, I would vote in favor of keeping the article. Yesterday I discovered that Cherrywine has their records published by DCide. Anyone else want to add a vote? Wiwaxia 09:20, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Well, I've never heard of Cherrywine, but if you have then that's a good argument against deletion. It would be more convincing if we had an article on that band, but that's not necessarilly required. Martin 19:00, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Convincing enough. Cherrywine get 2,690 Google hits. Cherrywine+band gets 1500. I've removed it from VfD. Angela 21:29, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It seems like a debate of this nature could have been avoided if someone had just, say, visited the link to the label's web page and read up on their history. P.S., article is no longer a stub. 66.157.29.22 06:16, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
