TEN Music Group

The group has notability as per it is founded by a notable person but the notability was not inherited per WP:INHERIT. This article may also be speedy-deleted as I see because it really have no significance. But because of its founder and it is associated with other companies.

Delete as non-notable. —Ed!^(talk) 16:37, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - would seem to absolutely fail WP:CORPDEPTH. Begging for mercy doesn't really help - you need to tell your employers that Wikipedia has specific criteria to determine what should be included in this encyclopaedia and that at the moment, their company does not meet those criteria. Primary among them is Wikipedia's general notability guideline which requires "significant coverage" in reliable sources. Facts and claims also need to be verified by reliable sources. Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages or a guide to music companies and whether the article is written from a neutral point of view or not, Wikipedia is still not the place to raise awareness of or advertise for your company. If you want the article to be kept then you will need to demonstrate that the company is notable. Beyond that, editing with a very obvious conflict of interest is always strongly discouraged. So even if the company were notable, the article itself should really be written by neutral editors who are not employees of the company itself. Stalwart111 23:23, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
