Daily Mail Inspirational Woman of the Year

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of notability of this award. The Daily Mail is a deprecated source, so couldn't be a source of notability for this award in any case. The Daily Mail is notable, but notability isn't inherited. Third party coverage is near-nonexistent - a PROD was removed claiming WP:BEFORE wasn't done properly, but I did, and what little third-party coverage is local papers mentioning local people. The claim that this award was continued as the Lorraine Kelly award of the same name fails verification. If there's evidence this Daily Mail award passes WP:GNG, I certainly can't find it, and the editor who removed the PROD hasn't provided it when challenged on it - see talk.

 * Delete per nom, The Daily Mail is a deprecated source -- Devoke water   (talk)  13:46, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The Daily Mail may be a deprecated source, but it can still be used (cautiously) as a primary source, as it is in this article to cite each year's winner. However we still need independent sources to establish notability. Even if the Mail were reliable, it wouldn't be independent on this topic. pburka (talk) 14:01, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * precisely - if this were, say a Guardian award with this little evidence of third-party notability, it wouldn't be notable either. I'm not sure there's even enough evidence here to note this in Daily Mail - David Gerard (talk) 14:04, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Award solely exists for circular publicity purposes that isn't cited by another media organization; even if this was for another newspaper/electronic org that wasn't deprecated, we'd probably still delete it too as unnotable (see the "Best of the (region)" awards commonly handed out by Gannett newspapers in the United States, which are equivalent honors given to local businesses).

 * Delete Not even noteworthy enough to be mentioned on the Daily Mail article. Who were the winners after 2010? In 2019 they suddenly woke up again and decided to rename and restart the award? - hako9 (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Award effort by the daily mail with nothing to establish notability. Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:03, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
