Hi! First of all, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia by working through the ever increasing backlog of newly created articles. I read the consensus decision that you referenced and hopefully put together a well argued rationale objecting to the speedy deletion request. Happy to discuss this more here or over there. I did a fair bit of research on the organization before writing the article. While I cannot cite independent sources, I also know of several musicians who submitted their work to the Global Music Awards and were rejected. Likewise, I also researched the judges and verified that they are real people and notable musicians. Let me know how we can make progress on this. Thank you.

 * In case the page is deleted, my response there is:
 * Your first source above appears inapplicable. Your second and third sources fail WP:INDEPENDENT (as well as being basically coverage of a single award, and not the awards as a whole); as does the Rolling Stone source. The other two sources in the article clearly fail WP:INDEPENDENT (as well as WP:RS, etc) -- note also that a notable artist or song winning the award does not confer notability on the award. My arguments at the AFD remain current.
 * Per WP:GNG, an article requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. If this can't be provided, then the awards are not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 07:26, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
