This is the type of subject for which I would expect plenty of information to be available on the web if it was notable, but Google finds next to nothing:. The article creator seems to be using Wikipedia as a WP:SOAPBOX. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:19, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am aware of print sources for this - there's a discussion of Swiss mechanical watches and their competitions in a book I've read called A Revolution in Time - but this definitely seems to be a soapbox, and borderline attack page, albeit not directed against a named individual. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep/Delete It seemed obvious that a major promotion would be found in Google and so the title must have been misspelt. And so it proved.  I have moved the article to the correct title and cleaned up the POV prose.  The old title/redirect should be deleted as an error. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I wasn't sure about this one when I saw it proposed for deletion, but I accept Col. Warden's argument. Its a major industry award. sure, its influenced by commercial considerations. A great deal of he world is, but we dotn exclude things fro mwp on that basis. we are more than an encyclopedia of the non-profits.
