2018 Dora Mavor Moore Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Full disclosure: I was the original creator of this back in 2018, but put it on hold due to some difficulty in finding enough comprehensive sources to fully complete it at the time — and then I forgot about it and never came back to it afterward, and nobody else ever stepped in to help out either, so it's still incomplete today. And not only am I still having trouble finding adequate sources to fill in the categories I left unfinished at the time, even the Doras' own self-published website doesn't currently include historical information about past ceremonies anymore — since its most recent redesign, it currently lists only the winners and nominees for 2020, with all past years (even those that were listed as of 2018) now covered only by an "Additional past award ceremony information prior to 2020 will be listed here soon. Stay tuned!" footnote, so I can't even use that to fix this anymore. While in theory the Doras are a notable enough award that we could potentially have a standalone article about each year's ceremony to list the winners and nominees, in practice nobody's actually doing that (even category articles only exist for a few topline categories, and not for all categories). Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody is actually willing to take on the job of getting all of the other 40+ Dora ceremonies written up, but if nobody's even trying to flesh out the series then there's no value to an incomplete and single-sourced article about just one year's ceremony existing in isolation.

 * Delete with no prejudice against recreation. We certainly can't suggest the nominator didn't undertake WP:BEFORE here!  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 13:58, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
