Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mutant Pop Records
to Punk labels. Sources are unreliable, especially internet forum posts and so on. Since this is an historical subject (1990s punk), if the label is/was notable, we should expect to read about it in several of the many books covering the topic. However, the only source I could find, "Punks: A Guide to an American Subculture", is conspicuous for ''not'' discussing it. The label's owner is mentioned only in one sentence, where he is quoted regarding the notability of a radio show/DJ. So in fact there seems to be a reliable source that indicates that it's not particularly notable! But that doesn't mean all the information must be discarded, and some of the sources could be used as citations for facts, if not for notability. A large proportion of the articles in the :Category:Punk record labels have even less evidence of notability for dedicated articles, but it would be a mistake to simply delete them ''en masse''. Taken together, they are a notable subject, and the articles contain much valuable information. I would suggest creating Punk labels at least as a stub, and doing a  in order to retain the existing information for possible merging into it. In general, I think  rather than  or AfD, should be the first line approach to article subjects that don't meet notability criteria, but still have useful information. If there are problems with it being reverted, by COI editors for example, that can be dealt with by the usual COI or content dispute procedures.  should be reserved for articles that are clearly completely useless, and a formal AfD for notability should only be considered if  is legitimately contentious
