Article fails WP:GNG, seems to only have re-released certain songs (regardless of notability), and has merely one source from a fan-led "company biography" page. Lordtobi (✉) 11:22, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - uh, sourcing needs desperate improvement, but did you read the whole article? Notable label. This is the label massive hit "Mother in Law" appeared on. This label had other hits as well. WP:BEFORE definitely applies, just do a simple search on Google Books on Minit Records [1]. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 13:24, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: No significant coverage and Google Books only shows trivial mentions. SL93 (talk) 00:04, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changed to Keep: Per the sources below (except for the first source which is more about a different label). SL93 (talk) 17:37, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: I hope I don't sound like I'm badgering you, because I REALLY respect your work (and I respect the nominator also, if it appeared otherwise I apologize). However, there is a whole chapter in Rhythm and Blues in New Orleans by John Broven ([2]) plus discussions surrounding the label throughout the book. There is significant coverage (p.229-230) at The Music Lover's Guide to Record Collecting by Dave Thompson ([3]). There is useful information at Louisiana Rocks!: The True Genesis of Rock and Roll by Tom Aswell ([4]), this is more than a passing mention. I Hear You Knockin': The Sound of New Orleans Rhythm and Blues by Jeff Hannusch ([5]) should be used regarding the nomenclature, unfortunately Books only has a snippet view. The Sound of the City: The Rise of Rock & Roll by Charlie Gillett calls Minit "The most important New Orleans record label". There is significant coverage in Billboard [6], [7], [8], these from first page results searching

" "Minit Records" Billboard". 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 11:38, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note, regarding the "first source", there's a whole chapter there, it is just hidden because the whole book isn't included in Google Books. (chapter 17) 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
