Non-notable label; article written by one of their owners. Orange Mike | Talk 16:02, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. I have been trying to explain to this author the sort of references we need, but none of the three references in the article mentions "Almost There Records" at all. An earlier version had references to WP articles List of Universal Music Group labels and Symphonic Distribution, but WP is, as we know, not a reliable source, and Almost There Records only appeared in those articles because it had been recently inserted, unsourced, by this author and by an SPA IP

There are at least two other outfits by this name, but as they were operating in 2008 and 2013 they are not the same as this one, established 2015. All I can find about this one is its Facebook page ("Wanna know more about #Almost_There_Records Go check our #Wikipedia page") and a website address http://almosttheremusic.com/ which is a deadlink. Sorry, but Wikipedia is not a place like Facebook where you set up a page to tell the world about yourselves when you are just starting out. The label does not get to have an article until it has actually achieved enough to have been the subject of substantial independent comment in reliable, published sources.

Comment: a reference has been added which does at least mention the label, but it is an interview, so basically them talking about themselves - not enough for notability in my view. JohnCD (talk) 13:12, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
