Speedy deletion nomination of Lost State Records

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Lost State Records, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. AusLondonder (talk) 17:02, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

You appear to have basically just copy/pasted content from Discogs.com, including the prose at the top of the page and the entire discography section. Wikipedia takes copyright violations seriously. Though information (like an album name, song title, production code) can't be copyrighted, the prose is de facto copyrighted. Copying the discography content, formatting and all is just not cool. Apart from that, though, your biggest challenge is to demonstrate why the independent label is notable, and the way to do that is through the inclusion of significant coverage from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Got any newspaper clippings? Articles from news websites? Are there artists on the label who have demonstrated notability in existing Wikipedia articles? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:55, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
