MLS Wooden Spoon

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article only has one reliable source a search on Google News only generates 20 hits with almost all of them being either unreliable sources or false positives. Even a query on Google at large only brings up 8,240 hits with, yet again, most being unreliable sources or false positives. This would seem to indicate the "award" fails to meet notability guidelines. The article also appears to rely almost exclusively on original research in generating the list of recipients of the "award". Bobblehead (rants) 21:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge with Wooden spoon (award) - this is a well-documented phenomena but there's little to suggest it needs its own article. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 21:43, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect: While this particular award doesn't deserve an article of its own due to a lack of significant coverage, a redirect to a mention on the wooden spoon page wouldn't cause any harm. -- Big  Dom  21:47, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge/redirect - article fails general notability guideline, but may be appropriate to mention on the wooden spoon article. Jogurney (talk) 22:56, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
