Vanity label owned by DJ Axwell, mainly used for his own and associated releases. None of the sources discuss the subject significantly. Does not pass WP:CORP. KingAnd God 09:38, 3 April 2018 (UTC) reply

It seems you have gone through and targeted all the biggest dance music DJ's record labels for deletion by labeling them "vanity labels". While such labels exist, this label does not apply to Axtone (and the others you have selected). It is a disservice to Wikipedia to be so dismissive without doing adequate research. While Axwell as a notable artist confers some notability to the label, this is only a small part its importance. Axtone is a significant and influencial labels in dance music in its own right and has released some of the most important records in the electronic music world. [1]. The label itself will even have its own stage in the 2018 Tomorrowland (festival), one of the largest music festivals in the world [2]. [3]. While this article (and the other articles you have selected for deletion) should be improved and updated, they should not be deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Walru5hunterofficial ( talk • contribs)

@ Walru5hunterofficial: This label has no notability as a separate entity. Notability is not inherited. On Wikipedia, reliable sources are needed to verify claims and establish notability. KingAnd God 10:35, 12 April 2018 (UTC) reply
@ KingAndGod: Again, as in the discussion about Armind, it seems you didn't actually read my comment. Axtone IS a significant and influential label in dance music in its own right and has released some of the most important records in the electronic music world. [1]. The label itself (as a distinct and separate entity from Axwell and his music) will even have its own stage in the 2018 Tomorrowland (festival), one of the largest music festivals in the world [2]. [3]. Other labels with stages include Spinnin' Records and Monstercat. If this doesn't confer notability status to a label, I don't know what does. There are tens of thousands of labels in electronic music and only a very select few deserve mention in Wikipedia, consult any source on EDM and you will find Axtone's importance and catalogue to be paramount. While this article should be improved, updated and cited, they should not be deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Walru5hunterofficial ( talk • contribs)

@ Walru5hunterofficial: I understand your claim that it's an influential label but there should be reliable sources to back it. Merely asserting significance is not enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia. This is an organization so its relevant guideline is WP:NCORP. The notability criteria is strict for companies and organizations and there should be in-depth coverage of reliable sources about the subject. KingAnd God 04:24, 13 April 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete: fails WP:ORGCRIT. Walru5hunterofficial, do you have any sources to back up your claim that the label is "influential" and "important"? Of the three references that you have provided in this thread, the WeRaveYou site is a promotional marketing website, the MensXP article doesn't mention Axtone at all, and the Dancing Astronaut article is suspect as the writer is only a freelance contributor to the website... his full-time job is working for the marketing department of the music group that Axtone has a publishing deal with, so he isn't an independent source.
