@78.26: Thanks for working to improve the article. Did you come across sources beyond those cited? As far as I can tell, none of them say much of anything about Sonar Kollektiv other than brief mentions in the context of talking about Jazzanova or mentioning that particular artists have had works released through the label. I could be wrong, but I think that the one that seems to say the most, Lonely Planet, is not typically considered a reliable source as it's based on user-generated content it self-publishes. This still does not look to be sufficient for a stand-alone article, but what do you think about merging it into Jazzanova? — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:47, 23 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

When it comes to articles like this, there aren't a lot of good options. Merging may be the best option, but this label is notable beyond that group in that several releases by artists independent of Jazzanova have received critical attention. The label has been around for awhile, and has signed numerous, notable artists, and therefore the label is "one of the more important independent labels" according to NMUSIC #5, which is why I tried to put some effort into it. The article, stub that it is, does contain information encyclopedically (that can't be a word) valuable to a musicologist or discographer. Because of the tenure and number of releases by notable artists, there probably are more sources out there, probably in German. But they aren't readily available. If I were knew anything about the genre, maybe I'd be more help. I think the encyclopedia is benefited, if only slightly, by the inclusion of this stand-alone article, but that's only my opinion. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 20:00, 23 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

@78.26: Fair enough. That there may be more sources in German makes sense. I'm still skeptical, but don't see any reason to push through to AfD. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 20:49, 23 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Rhododendrites:I think a healthy skepticism is warranted. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 21:09, 23 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
