Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queen's Award for Enterprise (mass nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete all placeholder/empty articles (both as a result of the AfD and per speedy criterion G7, as the author/sole major editor of these articles said below he does not object to the placeholder deletion). No consensus on what to do with the non-empty articles, so default to keeping on those. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:41, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Queen's Award for Enterprise (mass nomination)

Other lists exist, but they have some content (e.g. The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation (Technology) (1979)) or are actual lists (The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation (Technology) (2010)), or were already deleted (e.g. The Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade (Export) (1996)). I'll make nominations for the others separately to free up these clear-cut cases. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 20:03, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Badly named, empty articles. I prodded these in a distant past (January 2011), but the creator deprodded them, but didn't fill them. Apart from being empty (most of them) for quite a while now, they are also very badly named, considering that the awards were actually named "The Queens Award for Export Achievement" and "The Queens Award for Technological Achievement" (from 1976 on), with from 1993 on a third one, "The Queens Award for Environmental Achievement" Some changes to the naming and grouping were again made in 2000-Z001. Details can be found at this PDF link. The double disambiguation used in these articles is an eyesore... Fram (talk) 20:07, 30 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete all per fram. Nanostubs with no sourcing and next to no content. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:22, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep all These are important awards and the previous article was a hotch-potch list of winners. Most of the completed lists were deleted at a previous AfD shortly to be at DRV.  If no other bugger is going to fill them in I will do it myself, as I have, with a little help, for the items with ticks in the below list.

 * Delete all the placeholders; they don't qualify for A3 speedy deletion, but they're functionally no better than articles that do qualify for it. Placeholders with no unique information are meaningless as articles.  I'm really not fond of the 2010 article, but it's a completely different situation, and any articles like it should not be deleted here because they're far from being placeholders.

 * Delete the empty/placeholder articles, allowing re-creation later. It's a well-known award, but an empty article is of no use to anybody. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:15, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete placeholders, Keep substantive articles, and allow re-creation of deleted ones if they have substance, per User:Colapeninsula above. - Jorgath (talk) (contribs) 17:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I have no massive objection to the place-holders being deleted until needed. My only concern is that if they are created piece-meal they will be a jumble of different styles. Rich Farmbrough, 05:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC).


 * Then keep an eye on them and BOLDly style-edit them, working with those who create them. - Jorgath (talk) (contribs) 13:01, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
