Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CandyRat Records (2nd nomination)
This nomination is directly inspired by the conversation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ewan Dobson, which may also be of interest. As I have Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fake Four Inc.|argued elsewhere, the application of  to record labels is a Procrustean bed that makes little sense as a yardstick, and  arguments are ultimately red herrings.  has language - the only language specifically addressing record labels in our guidelines - about what constitutes an important record label, and it suggests two indicators: length of operation and prominence of roster (clearly intended to be taken holistically - a longstanding label with no notable acts probably wouldn't qualify unless it somehow also met the GNG). CandyRat, I think, ranks - it's been around for about 15 years and has signed quite a few notable acts (acts ''not'' notable ''merely'' for having been signed to the label), the most well-known of which are probably Michael Manring, Don Ross (guitarist)|Don Ross, Preston Reed, and The Reign of Kindo (not to mention, of course, Ewan Dobson). The Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CandyRat Records|prior nomination, closed as keep about two years ago, is also instructive
