 * Comment: There might be some merit to having an article on the actual contest since it's held at the national level, but I'm having trouble finding RS, but that might be due to a language barrier? Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:37, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep This is an national level prize, and though your can't find entries on Google about it, doesn't make it WP:OR. It is likely to do with language differences. Since the Ghanaian generally take great pride in their education, unlike the west nations, it is likely to be a fairly prestigious prize. I would say let it sit until references come up. Certainly the Ghanaian Google has a number of entries about it, which could perhaps server as sources. scope_creep talk 16:22, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

 * My big concern is that there's a big difference between having an article for a contest and having an article that's just a list of names of people who have won the contest. If it gets kept, it needs to be as an article about the contest itself, not a roster of people who have won. It's not really the norm to have an article about winners of a contest unless the contest has been so long running and so overwhelmingly prestigious that each yearly contest gains a lot of coverage. By this I mean that you'd get something along the lines of the Nobel Prize, the Golden Rooster Awards, and similar. Even if a contest is notable, there's not much merit in just having an article about the contest. Other than that, I would really like to see some sort of sourcing for this as well. We need to have at least a few sources that talk about this to really show notability. They don't have to necessarily be plastered all over Google News, but we need some sort of verification that this is as notable and prestigious in the country as you claim. We don't need a huge amount in this case, just some coverage. It doesn't have to be in English, mind you, but we do need something. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:38, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
