Ibero-American Literary Awards

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Page consists of mainly wikilinks, it is a mess. The page is named "Ibero-American Literary Awards", but contains little or next to no information about awards, only writers who have won, which is doubtful because everything is unreferenced. LaNicoya 02:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I suggest you visit the list of literary awards page and note how many of the pages linked to there are for reference purposes. Ibero-American Literary Awards is intended to serve primarily a reference purpose. If you have questions concerning the validity of the factual information contained within the article I would kindly suggest you to consider doing something which is often done by intelligent people in such situations, and which you might perhaps have inadvertently overlooked doing: look it up.

 * Delete or move (if possible) Move it to List of Ibero-American Literary Awards or just delete it.--Sunny910910 (talk 02:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Why do we want to delete it friend? You never know, (Unlike some of us who lack the curiosity for such things), there might be somebody out there for whom such information is worth perusing. --Rubbersoul20 11:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete this unfocused mess. Individual awards should have their own articles, with winners listed there. Compiling a list of "meta-winners" (see bottom), i.e. who won the most awards, is original research (that assumes, for example, that all the awards represent equal merit or are for comparable things). By my pro-list thinking, there's room for a List of Ibero-American literary awards, where the list is of the award articles. But munging them all into one article, and simply listing the winners and not the history or purpose of the prize, is odd and anti-encyclopedic. --Dhartung | Talk 03:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Dhartung, my dear, I disagree with your idea that "individual awards should have their own articles" -- What do you suppose reference pages are for? ...(hint, hint: for reference). The meta-list at the bottom does not 'assume' anything, my dear. Show me where it asserts that "all the awards represent equal merit or are for comparable things." I tell you what: If you show me where that is asserted i'll give you 100 dollars. As for the article being 'odd and anti-encyclopedic': let us not ostracize wikipages for being a little different from the others. Wikipedia, in case you have not noticed, has many reference pages under its belly. Your most humble servant, Rubbersoul20 11:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
