Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/G Files awards


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. But those who want to keep suggest making the article about the magazine, so if that does not happen, a renomination may be considered.  Sandstein  18:31, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

G Files awards

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It should be noted that this is an award given by a "Governance magazine" named "gfiles".

This is not a government award. This award is not given by Government of India.

This award is in the news as some very notable people were given this award. Wikipedia doesn't even have an article about the parent magazine, which gives this award "gfiles". This is their magazine website and this is their award website. Now, Indian government websites end with .gov.in Marvellous Spider -Man 09:07, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Very strong possibility that this page Gfiles (deleted twice) is related to this magazine which gives this award. -- Marvellous Spider -Man 09:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep with suggestion that it might make more sense to move it to the name of the magazine (whether that is Gfiles or G Files remains to be determined) based on the sources I found. I suspect more independent sources exist in Indian newspapers that Google didn't show me, but I don't think the award is notable independent of the magazine. I was unaware that an article on the magazine had previously been deleted, but since it was deleted initially as a test page and then as G11/A7 (promotion/no indication of significance) I suspect it lacked independent sources, and my search indicated that such sources do exist. I don't therefore consider the previous deletions rule out keeping this article or moving it to cover the magazine as well as the awards. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:43, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Move to gfiles which is apparently the name of the magazine (they always use a lowercase g in every reference I found) and make it a section of an article about the magazine. I have found a handful of references reporting on this award, so it is apparently notable, but I think it would make more sense as a subsection of an article about the magazine, which appears to meet our inclusion criteria, previous prods notwithstanding.

 * Delete: Non-notable award. Fails GNG. Except for the one economictimes article, other source domains are not even reliable. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:55, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
