Global Child Prodigy Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:NOTE, seems to be a promotion for a [so-far] one off event without criteria for awards or any appropriate significance - a sort of nominate-yourself talent show with a pretentious name. Smerus (talk) 14:25, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep - Notable award ceremony was held which honoured 100 prodigies from all over the world. News coverage is there from all countries. Looks fine to me, just need copy editing though and a few arrangements. Thank you.L2pkpandey (talk) 09:58, 3 February 2020 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: L2pkpandey (talk • contribs) appears to have a close connection with the subject of the article being discussed.
 * Comment. WP article Child prodigy has the sourced and cited definition "A child prodigy is defined in psychology research literature as a person under the age of ten who produces meaningful output in some domain to the level of an adult expert." There is no evidence that the 100 children involved here meet this definition (and a number are over the age of ten). This WP article under discussion lends the event credibility to which it is not entitled. By the way, L2pkpandey, please do not delete sourced and cited information in the article without discussing first on the article talk page.--Smerus (talk) 21:48, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete promotional article on promotional  event, using a remarkably expansive interpretation of "child prodigy"   which properly means a child who can do as well as an adult, , but a child who can do something as well as an adult expert . It does not appear to me that any of the people listed in the article come anywhere near qualifying, which makes the hwole thing a PR stunt. The only sources likel yto report such stunts are PR themselves, because there is no reason any genuine news source would pay the least attention. All newspapers,m even the most reputable, dexcend occasionally to publsihing PR, but most of the ones included here as references are particularly notorious for it.

 * Delete per nom & DGG. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:57, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * delete the awards dont have significant coverage in reliable sources, I got similar experience with sources like DGG described above. According to their official website, and wikipedia article not clarify the nature of the organization's structure, the source of its funding, its corporate status or the criteria used to assess 'prodigies'. An award for revenue, and publicity for the kids. Non notable though. —usernamekiran (talk) 13:52, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I couldn't find significant coverage about the event itself on independent sources. Then checking what's presented in the article, after discounting the links directly associated with the event and the unrelated academic articles that discuss the scope of the term "child prodigy", I found only links to human interest stories on the kids that won the award. Unsurprisingly, these stories don't touch much on the event itself, focusing instead on the kids. So this is a promotional article on an event that fails WP:GNG.
