Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Golden Spider 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 Keep, with no prejudice against merging and redirecting. The key here is nobody is saying delete (except of course the nominator). If merging and redirecting end up being the final resting place for the awards, so be it, but that discussion should happen on the talk pages of the two respective articles. Closing as keep. Merging and redirecting are non-admin procedures, but a consensus should exist prior to a controversial move. Keeper  |   76   |   Disclaimer  20:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Golden Spider Awards

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable internet award. Only news sources I can find are press releases. SmashvilleBONK! 00:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge into Business & Finance, the magazine that hosts and manages the awards. Also, on a related note, while Business & Finance is apparently a notable magazine, it needs to be urgently cleaned up.-- TBC !?!  00:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Business & Finance. Insufficient notability for a separate page. BlueValour (talk) 04:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per others. Hard to establish notability and context in the separate article. • Anakin (talk) 15:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. Actually the awards do get coverage in the news when they come out; for example, here are a few mentions on the RTÉ website (here and here) and there is normally print coverage. (Personal Observation/opinion in passing: Again, another example of how useless Google News is in finding Irish media stories.) Actually I didn't realize that they were organized by Business and Finance; I would have associated them more with the sponsors Eircom (and previous sponsors BT.)

 * Keep. The awards are well known and in addition to the last contributor's examples, are also covered by technology websites (here) and on national radio. 1-555-confide (talk) 14:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or merge and redirect. It has some coverage in reliable sources, but a merger is probably better until it gets more coverage to prove it is notable. Bearian (talk) 15:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
