I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. Fails WP:CORP. Schuym1 (talk) 00:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep A search showed lots of mentions and coverage. What am I missing? should be retitled Burnt Hair Records. Maybe try searching that? ChildofMidnight (talk) 15:14, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I just searched that and all I found was a bunch of trivial mentions. Schuym1 (talk) 15:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well they are noted in a Detroit Newspaper and on MTV's website for releasing albums for bands. Several of the bands they released albums for have articles on Wikipedia (some more notable bands than others I'll grant you). I think it's clear the the label is notable for their work with these bands and as part of their recording history. I think it's a fine stub article.

- Comment I have expanded the article with much better sourcing and references. Some of it is just for verifiability, but there are also some reliable sources to establish notability. There is ample evidence of notability for the label. They recorded many bands and were part of a notable music scene. If I need to do more please let me know. But I'm hoping to move on...

- Keep. They are "unquestionably the label most responsible for cultivating Detroit's sound" of the mid to late 1990s[1] (this info and new ref just added). Also multiple mentions cumulatively pass the bar. Ty 19:06, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. 'Reliable sources'? Someone's not much of a music fan. Burnt Hair was responsible for incubating the careers of a number of very important bands, and I think the person who nominated this for deletion was doing so in bad faith. Keep keep keep.
