This record label based in Berlin has not received significant coverage in multiple reliable third-party sources. The topic fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Northamerica1000^(talk) 17:56, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a hard one - if the claims made on that article are true (and this is pre-web) then the label is obviously notable enough. But I can't find a single source that supports them claims. §FreeRangeFrog 23:27, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty sure this is notable, but finding online coverage for a label from the 80s and 90s is quite difficult, especially a with such a generic name and the fact that it was a German label. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 14:02, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if the article is accurate, then if feels like there should be more references out there, but they're not in evidence. If the article is significantly improved, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:42, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge to Noise Records. It appears Machinery Records only lasted two years before being taken over by Noise. Sionk (talk) 19:06, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge This label went by the wayside in 2001, so internet sources are hard to find. I did a fairly in-depth Lexis search going back to 1994 and I only found one article that mentions Machinery Records: ‘‘Sealing it with a kiss’’, Hobart Mercury (Australia) October 8, 2008

Though the trio were into vastly different forms of music, Snog began recording together in 1990. Unable to generate any interest from Australian record labels, the group travelled to Germany and signed to Machinery Records.

Even the German page lacks secondary sources [4]. This page should be merged with the company that acquired it. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 19:46, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 00:35, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Noise Records. I'd say this doesn't quite pass WP:GNG as it stands, but it's a possible search term and there is a chance more RSes could be found somewhere down the line. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 04:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
