Home Depot Award
Hallo Blinker FX, Thank you for contributing the article "Home Depot Award". I had a look at it while stub-sorting, wondered whether any of the recipients might be "notable" and need links made to articles about them, looked at Brian Kelly (American football) ... and under his "Awards and Honors" section I found a link to the existing article at Home Depot Coach of the Year Award. So I've turned your "stub" article into a "redirect": something which points to the existing article from a variation of its title. Please don't feel discouraged, but remember next time to check really carefully whether there's an existing article. If something is long-established and notable enough for a Wikipedia article there's a fair chance the article already exists, though obviously not always. Welcome to Wikipedia and Happy Editing: there's a lot to learn, but it's an interesting journey. Pam D  14:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
