The Freddy Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable award. Local to a small part of two states of the USA, and at high school level. Sources are mostly primary sources lacking any real depth or importance. As well as this, a list of award winners is also up for AfD: Articles for deletion/Past Freddy Award nominations and recipients Ajf773 (talk) 07:15, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. "An annual recognition of outstanding high school musical theatre in the Lehigh Valley area". Local coverage/importance only (The Express-Times). It's a shame to see a decent amount of work wasted, but I have to agree with the nom - this award does not seem to pass WP:GNG. This kind of content should go to a regional or theater wikia or such (maybe it could be copied to ?). See also Notability (awards) for context. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:31, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. I am the creator of this article. The Freddy Awards were the subject of a feature-length documentary film that was broadcast by the Oprah Winfrey Network. That alone means it satisfies WP:N and WP:GNG. The article as it stands right now is heavy on regional sources because they are the best sources of information. Even putting that aside, those regional sources ARE reliable sources (The Express-Times, The Morning Call, WFMZ, etc.), so the article passes WP:V and WP:RS with them alone. However, there ARE other non-regional reliable sources out there that discuss the Freddy Awards, such as the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, the Tennessean, etc. The article as it stands now could be expanded upon and improved with more outside sources (including the feature-length documentary about it), but there is no deadline for such improvements, so it shouldn't be deleted for that reason. And even putting that aside, the article meets notability standards as it is. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  18:36, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete -- an unremarkable local award. The article has the appearance of primarily serving to house annual recipients of the award, which are also non notable. Such content belongs on the award's web page, not here. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:43, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
