Nilsson awards

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be somebody's private vanity award. Sourced to a blogspot page run by "TV Extraordinaire". No indication of notability at all. ArglebargleIV (talk) 16:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because it's a related page created by the same user:


 * Delete both although I'd like to mention this link - is it connected in any way? Vishnava (talk) 16:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I was planning on expanding this article to include its origins, etc. These awards started in Connecticut and are announced by Curtis Dunn. A close friend of mine is on the comitee and suggested I make a wikipedia page to organize the information and display it for those who would like to learn more about it. they have no official site, however, the blog referenced is correct in all circumstances. I worked very hard on entering this information, if these articles are deleted, please notify me first so I can save the information to a document... thank you Hooty88888 (talk) 16:28, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd also like to note that "vanity" is not a reason for deletion (http://www.nabble.com/AFD-courtesy-problem-to2434386.html) Hooty88888 (talk) 16:49, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Vanity is not a reason for deletion, true. Lack of notability is, however.  Lack of any possible reliable source references is a reason for deletion as well. Although Google isn't the end-all, it's worth noting that searching for "Nilsson awards" returns no results other than these two Wikipedia articles.  47 other entries are returned for the search string, but they are unrelated entries like : "Axel Nilsson - Awards" on IMDb; resumes of people named Nilsson; references to the unrelated Lennart Nilsson Awards; etc.  The only place where these "Nilsson Awards" are mentioned appears to be someone's blog. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 20:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * this is true, however, where else would you be able to find it? these "awards" are really just announcements. there is no other place to really find this information, which I find useful. I personally like to see the winners of the awards because they are different from all the others. my friend asked me to create this because there is no place she could find about the origin of the awards. I guess I just don't understand, the notability? they are awards, how much notability is needed? what qualifies awards to be on wikipedia? I am not trying to argue, but it took me so long to create these. I understand the issue here, but why can you not leave it up for people? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hooty88888 (talk • contribs)
 * Wikipedia is not a webhost. If you want to announce your awards someplace, try Reddit or Digg. Cheers! --Dhartung | Talk 21:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No attribution of notability for this blog-based award via credible and independent sources. --Dhartung | Talk 21:14, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:NOT, and fails WP:N. Deor (talk) 21:28, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. and Dhartung. Sorry if you put a lot of effort in, but next time, before you do a lot of work creating an article, read the guidelines on Notability and What Wikipedia is not. JohnCD (talk) 21:28, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I understand the "guidelines of notability", but this isn't about announcing the awards or whatever, that was done a long time ago, it is about displaying information about the awrds and the process by which they are chosen... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.168.125 (talk • contribs)
 * Question. Is a podcast of the announcement sufficient evidence? and a talk back with people from the comittee? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.168.125 (talk • contribs)
 * The issue isn't whether the awards exist, it's whether they are notable and whether there is sufficient coverage in independent reliable sources. A podcast of the announcement and a discussion with the committee are primary sources at best, and don't count as independent sources. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 22:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think all I would be able to find is a school newspaper... would that suffice?? It's from the hometown of C.D. Nilsson and they talk about how he use to go to that high school and such... my informant gave it to me for more information to build the page...69.118.168.125 (talk) 17:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article fails to establish notability due to lack of third party coverage.Insearchofintelligentlife (talk) 02:59, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unless citations from reliable sources are added to comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 14:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
