Boston Society of Film Critics Award for Best Actress

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is a generic foo society of film ciritcs listing; it has no independent significance. There is no evidence that the Boston film critics society is more than marginally notable and the fact that they have an annual beano (like every other similar society) at which they hand out (as does every other similar society) awards to the same people who got the Oscars that year, does not make the individual categories in any way notable. The acid test would be: if they handed out this award to Daniel Craig and Halle Berry, would they turn up on the night? A dollar says no. Guy (Help!) 23:32, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. These awards are covered every year in the national media.  I can see no basis for eliminating coverage of these awards.--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:27, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep A widely acknowledged award and organization that has significant and in-depth coverage for 30 years is notable. In agreement with User:Arxiloxos' observation, my own BEFORE also indicates independent significance as shown by extensive and multi-year significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. 30 years of news coverage AND making it into the enduring record, AND receiving scholarly analysis if what IS key here. The nominator's "acid test" is not the issue, as there are even times when someone winning a BAFTA or OSCAR is unable to make it to an awards presentation. Blame that on their schedules, but not on the ceremony nor the organization. The true measure of notability is found when gauging the award and organization against their coverage.

 * Keep Yes it falls under list-class, but its a true award given annually, I just wish this artical was referenced, and gave more of a description of the award itself, but it is salvagable. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 21:44, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Did the nominator click on the link to the article Boston Society of Film Critics? Anyway, a simple Google search shows coverage of this award.
