Les Trophées du Libre

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

no assertion of notability, no refs, 2 other language articles also unreffed Widefox (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment last (unreffed) sentence on Enigform indicates this contest has gone owing money - I will tag that {cn}, but this indicates wider problems with these articles I'm looking at as similarly promotional. Widefox (talk) 22:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: there are several search results in Google News, which seemingly allow the subject to pass WP:GNG (,, , , , and ; some of these have more articles on topic). The "weak" part is there because I rely on Google News' judgment of reliability, as I'm not familiar with French and German news ecosystem. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:53, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment organisation must be dead 3 years - the referenced website/domain is dead www.trophees-du-libre.org last archive http://web.archive.org/web/20090609172259/http://www.trophees-du-libre.org/ (and www.tropheesdulibre.org is in Russian, no wayback). I know the German news (but not the French) would be a RS. More like (old) news. Widefox (talk) 14:00, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that http://www.tropheesdulibre.org is a splog as of now. That said, it is believed that Notability is not temporary, so unless the subject failed to make considerable impact (it is an award after all), it should probably stay. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:33, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * impact wise, it failed - minor news items, sure but not notable. I was surprised I'd never heard of it, (like you) I've been in FOSS years, but can understand if you think there's a couple of RS we should keep it. Have you got another one? Widefox (talk) 21:40, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

I can also confirm thi contest was really popular during 5 years in FOSS world in france (2003 to 2009). The contest has cease now because, contest was organized by a very small local government agencie, and fund to organize it was locked after 2009. So this contest does not exists anymore, however, because it did exists and was popular (even if notability was in France only), I think we should keep this page.--Eldy (talk) 22:41, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
