The only sources are Telenor itself, and this has always been the case. Authors seem to want a separate article not a redirect, but have consistently failed to provide reliable independent sources to substantiate its claimed independent notability. A year ago we closed as Keep. Not one independent source was added during that debate, and not one has been added since. At some point we have to actually apply policy: source it or lose it.

 * Keeep Seems notable, with a reasonable amount of coverage of it, such as here, here, plus what is already in the article.  JT dale Talk ~ 17:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. A prestigious award, always mentioned in biographies of the recipients, and it was so easy to find news coverage of recent years (the last 3 were missing) that I'm sure there was also news coverage in earlier years that is no longer accessible to me on-line. Timbuktu was the first Swedish winner, so received particularly heavy coverage. A couple of the articles also sketch the history of the award. I've referenced many of the recipients and updated the material from Telenor itself, including the jury members and using their own English-language version of the page we were originally citing via Google translate. And I'll now add one of JTdale's two, as well. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:42, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep there are a host of sources covering this award (see talk page). Seems to hit national Norwegian media every year. Arsenikk (talk)  20:33, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
