Samba d'Or

Unsourced and poorly-written article about a non-notable subject; zero hits on Google searches for both names of this award. sixty nine  • spill it •  05:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - the prestigious Noticias (magazine) considers this award worthy of a feature - here. Also referred to here. Smile a While (talk) 23:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment These snippets are more about a Spanish league player winning an award, rather than its notability (non-league/federation sanctioned, and voted on in part by fans via the Internet).

 * Comment Sorry, but there is no point in repeating this claim when it is simply wrong. I turned up the above two references through a Google search and there are a number of others -, , ,  etc. Smile a While (talk) 00:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
