Disney Legends

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An award given by the Disney Company to its own employees, I cannot find significant coverage in any independent reliable sources- there are only mere mentions in news articles about recipients. The only (numerous) references are to internal Disney websites, which are clearly not independent of the subject. Award doesn't satisfy notability requirements. -- Wikipedical (talk) 23:43, 28 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete – I support the nomination. The award gets namechecked a few times in books about Disney and animators and voice-over artists etc, but I can't find any significant trade coverage of the award or the ceremony. It sounds like a glorified corporate bash. Betty Logan (talk) 20:35, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. I acknowledge the logic behind this AfD nomination, and I agree that it's essentially a corporate honor, but I find some substantial attention to this award program in the entertainment press, at least (multiple hits in Variety and Hollywood Reporter, for example), and even if that press coverage isn't as purely independent as we'd like, I think that Disney's creative reputation, especially in the animation field, is sufficiently strong and distinctive to make this list of award winners a sort of checklist of important figures within Disney history, and a worthwhile component of Wikipedia's coverage of the area. --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:05, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Other than mentions in obituaries and news articles, where in Variety or The Hollywood Reporter have you found significant coverage of Disney Legends, ? --  Wikipedical (talk) 19:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see why news articles would be excluded. Quick examples from what's readily available online:   .  As for obituaries: each mention of this award in an obit, taken separately, is not an example of substantial coverage, but I think the fact that this honor gets mentioned consistently in obits may be seen, in the aggregate, as a further indicator of the relevance of the award.--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:51, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
