List of winners of the Åke Blomström Award (ABA)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

no indication the prize for beginning journalists is sufficiently notable to have this list. I'm not even sure that any of it is suitable for merging in to thearticleo n the prize. I point out there is no article on the prize in the svWP.  DGG ( talk ) 01:02, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete, none of the names are notable. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Ajf773 (talk) 06:56, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom. Note that we now also have the articles List of Requirements for participation in the Åke Blomström Award (ABA) and List of International Cooperation and Financing of The Åke Blomström Award, which seem even less notable. Manxruler (talk) 11:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, Since this is an international prize, there is no point in creating a specific swedish wiki article. The winners, and the selection committee, are from many different countries, and most people don´t speak swedish. I have no affiliation with any of the involved organisations. I created the WPsw article about Åke Blomström as a consequence of contributing to the wikipedia article about my father. Not creating a swedish article of the prize was a natural choice. Swedish wikipedia has not deleted any article concerning the prize, that I know of. It is not inconceivable that all, or some, of the winners may merit a wikipedia article WP:CREATIVE, although this is beyond my current knowledge. Therefore also WP:DEMOLISH. 123johanlindeberg (talk) 17:51, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I see the none of the recent prizewinners has an article on either the enWP or the svWP, and that many of the earlier awards are merely travel grants for travel to other competitions. I do not see how an award almost exclusively given to non-notable people can be notable.  DGG ( talk ) 08:47, 18 June 2017 (UTC).
 * Comment I don´t agree. The Fields Medal e.g. can be given to a young person who is not notable, but has done something important. I refer to this article as an example of the importance of the prize : http://www.rte.ie/about/en/press-office/press-releases/2013/0306/374455-prestigious-international-award-for-documentary-on-one-programme/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123johanlindeberg (talk • contribs) 21:52, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete -- does not meet WP:NLIST and is essentially promotion. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:05, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Promotion of what exactly? Promotion of radio? Then there should be no information about The Oscars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture. These programs are free to listen to, unlike commercial movies, as far as I understand. The national radio channels agree to send the programs. Participation at the IFC is in the interest of people working in this field. If you mean promotion of freelance radio producers then this is also promotion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Documentary_Feature 123johanlindeberg (talk) 18:24, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I now realize that you might consider links, leading to any information source other than Wikipedia, as promotion. Even though you don´t state that explicitly. I cannot provide information about individuals on this list by writing articles about them, because of lack of knowledge, so I plan to remove "external" links. I have also included coaches on this list, but since they are not the winners, and should be considered as being part of the prize, I will remove them also. 123johanlindeberg (talk) 09:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete lack of sources to show this is a notable award.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:25, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I will add some more external links, such as "Two Goldsmiths MA Radio alumni recognised in prestigious Åke Blomström radio feature award" 123johanlindeberg (talk) 09:42, 30 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment I have added links to those winners who have wikipedia articles written about them. 123johanlindeberg (talk) 10:01, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
