Talk:List of record labels

Should this include a reference to Studio One, which currently has a page here?
- If there is an article on a record label not listed here, it's just because no one has added it yet. Go for it. -- Infrogmation 17:37, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I think that ARC Records and Argo Records should be (and are) listed under AR. I have removed them from AM. Tim Ivorson 12:35, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Why do you think that ARC and Argo are the same? warpozio 15:30, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I have never thought that ARC and Argo were the same. I think that both were listed twice. Tim Ivorson 09:23, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- True, I didn't notice that, cuwl ;) warpozio 20:56, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Basic Channel is a band, not a label. They released one cd under the "Basic Channel" label; basically just a self-release, and that was it. Currently, they work with Hard Wax (http://www.hardwax.com). siafu 03:08, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- According to allmusic, discogs, forcedexposure, circonium, the CD itself, and you, "Basic Channel" is a label (and a band). They released a number tracks under various aliases on the label. They even had their own pressing facility. It counts, does it not?
- Basic Channel released one cd and stamped it with the label. If we decide that one cd (and no business) constitutes a full-blown record label, we'd be setting something of a dangerous precedent. Every person or band that's ever released their own CD (and there are thousands) would then be eligible to be on the list. I underdstand that many sources indicate that the band has its label, in large part because of the fame and professional status of Basic Channel, but they don't have any claim to it greater than Manaconda, Mac Blackout, The Mad Genius, or any number of the million of small unrepresented artists who have made their own CDs.siafu 15:47, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- If quantity wins over noteriety and fame, then perhaps the Basic Channel page should be slated for deletion as well. 'If we decide that one cd (and no business) constitutes a full-blown' band, then 'Every person or band that's ever released their own CD (and there are thousands) would then be eligible' to have a page. Or do band pages fall under different criteria than the one you presented here?
- You lost me here. I'm not saying that we should be removing any mention of the Basic Channel label everywhere; it certainly deserves to be mentioned and discussed, just on the Basic Channel article, not the list of record labels. This is a list of exemplars of the category "Record labels"; Basic Channel is not such an exemplar, it's an interesting anomaly. siafu 16:10, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
band listings
Normally I think it is nice to add some bands who are really associated with a record label, but some listings have grown so much that it is no longer relevant (example: Elektra Records). That is 4 lines history and almost 100 bands. Couldñ't some of these listings be cleaned-up a bit? warpozio 14:10, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
