 * 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 Redirect. There is no consensus about whether the awards themselves are notable. There is some consensus that if the awards are notable they do not need to be broken into individual articles and can all appropriately covered in the main article.

 * Most of the sources are simply press releases. Not sure how they can be considered secondary. I'm not surprised Nashville-based papers would cover their musicians getting some recognition. That's Local coverage. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:08, 24 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep - maybe a borderline case, but I see coverage in the Tennessean and the Advocate, and numerous Christian music publications. I think the individual awards should all be directed here, however. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia  talk  13:05, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per The Warlord. ——  Serial  14:34, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Questionable overall awards criteria as one entity awarding artists based on their popularity on one sole radio network, and easily influenced by fan ballot stuffing, unlike the Dove Awards' broader criteria. If someone can unearth their criteria and it's not just 'fan voting + internal proprietary network stats', I would be convinced to change my vote!.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:14, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
