Koufax Awards (second nomination)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable web awards. The article has no assertion of notability and the expansion tag has been in place for three months. I do not see any coverage from anything besides other blogs. Pablothegreat85 00:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, as an editor of the article I have hoped that better sources would arrive in due time, so to speak. Unfortunately, it's run so lackadaisically -- nominations were opened up over three months ago, but the 2006 awards aren't out yet, and the last post on the board is filling up with linkspam -- I don't think it's ever going to become unequivocally notable. --Dhartung | Talk 00:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom unless notability via sources given. Arbustoo 05:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep &mdash; to ask that an award for blogs have wide repute outside the blogosphere seems, to me, a little excessive, rather like asking anyone other than a Pokémon fan to care about the vast majority of information in Pikachu (GA) or Bulbasaur (FA). The profile of Koufax winners looks rather high:  PZ Myers, Amanda Marcotte, Daily Kos.  Mark Chu-Carroll calls the Koufaxes "one of the really serious, prestigious web-awards, aimed primarily at the left-leaning blogosphere."  Anville 17:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment It is not excessive to ask that these awards have coverage outside of the blogosphere, as that is a requirement of WP:WEB.  Pablothegreat85 18:54, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep -- since when does "I don't see any coverage outside of blogs" consistitute a valid reason for deletion? (Should all articles on marginal professional baseball players get deleted because they have no relevance outside of baseball?).  Bloggers are part of real life aren't they?  Does 73,900 hits for "koufax awards" at google count for anything? -- Sholom 16:49, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply Coverage from blogs is not sufficient to meet WP:WEB.  Pablothegreat85 17:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete insignificant navel-gazing that fails to comply with WP:WEB. Eusebeus 06:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per my comment in the earlier AfD. --JJay 17:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Question: what has changed since the last AfD? That one was keep.  Why is this being nominated again? -- Sholom 17:10, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
