WP:DELSORT/AWARDS

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Awards. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Awards|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Awards. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

delete, well i just redirected Empathism, slogging through the sources i couldn't find anything really useful. fiveby(zero) 14:53, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Routine local coverage of an award connected to Menotti Lerro's followers of his "manifesto" and so-called "cultural movement", Empathism. Sign off on the Empathism manifesto, and you become a member, or an "adherent" and then you get awarded the prize. All the awardee's are in Lerro's circle, therefore I do not think it is a legitimate award, I think it is a promotional award. Netherzone (talk) 16:31, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Adding to my !vote above, delete per WP:PROMO, WP:NOTADVERTISING, and WP:MILL. Netherzone (talk) 23:40, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: as per comments above. Axad12 (talk) 03:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a key pillar of the Empathism spam being cleaned up. — Biruitorul ^Talk 12:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The World Challenge (competition)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a business competition, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for business competitions. The main notability claim on offer here is that this existed, which is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself -- making this notable enough for a Wikipedia article would be a matter of showing that it passed WP:GNG on its sourceability, not merely of stating its existence. But the only source here is the self-published website of the thing itself, rather than any evidence of third-party coverage about it, and a Google search didn't find much else.
I'm willing to withdraw this if a British editor with much better access to archived British media coverage from 15-20 years ago than I've got can find the sourcing needed to salvage it, but it can't just be kept in perpetuity without sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 15:04, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete can’t find any third party coverage, the competition itself seems to have fizzled out in 2008/9, and there doesn’t seem to be any sources talking about it as having happened at any point after it stopped. Can’t seem to turn up further coverage on the winners either, so THEY don’t seem to be notable either… Absurdum4242 (talk) 13:24, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zee Marathi Utsav Natyancha Awards 2018

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Based on same reasoning in the AfD for the 2023 ceremony. Main page Zee Marathi Utsav Natyancha Awards exists which is also likely not notable so not seeing how this would meet notability guidelines. Cannot find enough coverage to establish it for this specific year. Attempted (twice) to redirect as an WP:ATD but IPs who are likely UPE have removed every time so would be opposed to any redirect at this point. CNMall41 (talk) 19:45, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have been through this before. SPLITLIST is not a notability guideline. Can you point out the references that talk about this as a whole? This vote is a continued fallacy by assertion. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:59, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IT Journalism Awards

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no independent WP:SIGCOV for this niche regional industry awards program. All of the coverage is either on the award program's own site, or it's in news outlets touting their own journalists' wins and nominations and thus not independent. A handful of WP:TRADES coverage items as well but that doesn't contribute to notability and thus this subject fails WP:GNG. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Journalism, Awards, Technology, and Australia. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've expanded it a bit today - it does get quite good coverage in mainstream media, has been running for 21 years, has quite a lot of incoming links, and IMO passes GNG now, if it didn't before. Gaming is also another topic which probably receives less coverage in WP than its popularity would suggest (and one I know little about), and these awards are highly prized in that industry. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:18, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What sources have you added that you think are independent and reliable? They’re still mainstream sources talking about their own wins in the awards (and thus not independent), self published sources (not reliable) or trade publications (not independent).

Delete It looks like a lot of sources but some are used merely to confirm sponsors. Other sources confirm individual winners without being significant coverage of the actual awards. Fails GNG. LibStar (talk) 10:35, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think that awards fall under WP:SNG anyway, and the sources are Independent of the subject per the definition - "excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it". They are in mainstream media that are not affiliated with the award. In addition, there is a significant number of incoming links, and the awards are significant to Australian IT journalists. I really don't see the point of deleting something that is serving a useful purpose of describing these awards. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:20, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What SNG are you referring to? WP:NAWARD is a failed proposal and not binding. WP:GNG is the binding guideline. To answer your points, the mainstream sources are literally about the media organization itself receiving an award. It is definitionally not independent coverage of the awards; it's promotional. Meanwhile, your last two sentences have no bearing on P&Gs related to notability. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. I've just looked at half a dozen other awards under the Australian journalism awards category, and all of those had much fewer citations (if any) fulfilling the criteria - so by the argument above, they should all be deleted - not that I am advocating for this, but rather to strengthen the argument of awards being in a specialist notability class of article, for which perhaps new guidelines need writing. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 11:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sources are poor to unreliable. Nothing independent here. Page needs secondary independent reliable sources with significant coverage and I do not find that on this page. Fails WP:GNG. RangersRus (talk) 13:50, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If the consensus is to delete this one, then there will be dozens more old awards articles which fail these criteria, based on the lot I looked at - citing is inadequate across the board, and this one is better than most (excluding major showbiz ones, which of course get covered extensively). I'm talking about a principle here, not a single article. Are there any editors here who belong to the Awards project who can address this as a larger issue? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 14:13, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument to keep (unless those other subjects have been kept in AfD discussions that have established some kind of precedent). The mere existence of the articles does not establish a precedent that those articles should exist. That there are articles on other non-notable topics is not a reason to keep this article on a non-notable topic. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:49, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not arguing keeping this one on the principle of precedence, I'm suggesting that there needs to be a discussion on what makes awards articles worthwhile for keeping in general, in terms of usefulness to our users. I think that current GNG guidelines may not be fit for purpose when applied to awards. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:26, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a question for the Village Pump, not a question we can resolve in this deletion discussion. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:23, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
