Deletion of Afternoon Records (3rd nomination)

Comment: WP:NOTBURO|Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. This means it is our job to apply policies and guidelines in a way that best serves Wikipedia's purpose. Fortunately Wikipedia is also not anarchy, where precident and policy have no meaning. We have  as a pillar, which in this case allows us to decide whether this topic furthers the quality of Wikipedia, or inhibits it. Therefore, we should consider how these policies apply to the topic at hand, through onsensus. In other words, we need to ensure that the policies serve Wikipedia, and that Wikipedia does not serve policies.

Without this article, we lose the ability to tell that encyclopedic story and the collective impact that the label, by releasing music from these musicians, had on art and culture. NOTINHERITED is a red herring here; this was ably addressed by 78.26 in the 2nd deletion (mind you, this article has been nominated for deletion three times in ten days). We have at least three minimally viable sources; the ''MPR'' piece is substantial, the ''Minnesota Daily'' I addressed in AfD2, and the ''Billboard'' piece is an invited interview conducted by a Billboard editor. It's justifiably considered one of the more important indie labels in the sense used at
