Galileo Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A couple of blog posts don't establish notability, I'm afraid. I'd also add that, while assuming good faith, creation of this article seems like a backhanded attempt to overturn this AfD on Oliviu Crâznic. At that discussion, one of the article creator's main contentions in favor of keeping was that Crâznic had won something called the Galileo Awards, which nobody had heard of. By creating an article on the awards and pretending they're notable, restoring the Crâznic article becomes more plausible. Let's not fall for the trick, if this is what is happening. And even if it isn't, the point is that the awards lack any kind of meaningful coverage in independent sources - Biruitorul Talk 20:47, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete No suitable coverage to establish wp:notability. Basically 2 listing type entries.  RW notability looks likely.   Selected by readers of one magazine. North8000 (talk) 21:55, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as circular referencing. No third-party notability is discernible. Dahn (talk) 22:05, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment: Here is a possible source: http://www.observatorcultural.ro/FANTASY-SCIENCE-FICTION.-Premiile-SF-ului-romanesc*articleID_25298-articles_details.html. However, I don't think it's sufficient. Razvan Socol (talk) 17:24, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - No coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 21:53, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment For a Romanian science fiction award in only its second year, I am actually astounded by the amount of English-language coverage this is getting. This year's winners were announced only a week ago (and will apparently be presented later this month) but have already appeared on almost every website that covers any non-English language science fiction awards (even far better established ones) in anything like real time. Probably the most reliable so far is this one on SF Site by Steven H. Silver. So far I'm neutral but slightly frustrated - it would probably only take one more good source to convince me to vote keep. PWilkinson (talk) 20:30, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
