De-prodded because "obvious merge target", but I don't see a place to merge it to. Stone Music Entertainment and CJ Group do not mention the label at all. No sourcing found. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:44, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would say merge it to a group like Shinhwa but pretty much every artist and trainee under the label is notable. Heck even IU was a trainee there, it's hard to figure out where to put such a redirect. - K-popguardian (talk) 17:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Shinhwa. A merge to the parent company could work, too, but the locus of interest is really the band, who were responsible for more or less everything that the label did. Someone with language/domain expertise may be able to find sufficient media coverage to justify a separate article despite all this, so there should be no prejudice against reconstituting the article in the future.

I find this whole situation odd. Shinhwa and Battle's page both have very specific things about the company, such as Shinhwa's contract not starting with the label till 2004 and them re-signing in 2006. Older revisions of this page mention how specific members of Shinhwa left the label early, also mentioning other artists not currently listed on the page, but none of them have any sources whatsoever. Even versions of this article dating back to the 2000's, there's no sources to back any of these statements. I've tried doing as much digging as possible on Naver but I couldn't find too much there either (I know 0 Korean so there might be someone who could do an even deeper search than me.) There has to be some out there if people got all this information. Question is where? - K-popguardian (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it helps anyone, I found through Naver that the company went by GOOD EMG in Korea and didn't have a specific Korean name. So that might help ease the search in Korean media. - K-popguardian (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Spiderone: @Chubbles: Since this article appears to have traces of articles that can prove its notability but have yet to be unearthed, what if we tried moving this article to a draft space instead? It can be moved there in its current state, we can find sources to verify the info currently on it, and add new notable info as well. I think deleting it may be a bad idea cause in terms of our current research and previous drafts there's a lot of obscure info that's significant to the article, and I don't think it would be a good idea to delete this page and risk losing all that info. - K-popguardian (talk) 22:56, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
