Contested nomination for PROD, accidentally re-nominated for PROD. No indication of notabiilty of this particular award, no indication of who got it or why, sovereigns give out all kinds of gimcracks. Wtshymanski (talk) 14:07, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete (note, I was the original prodder). Article is part of a large group of rapidly created and then largely abandoned articles. A first batch of 25 (the most egregious ones) was deleted after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade (Export) (1966). Mots of the remaining articles are similar to the one nominated here. They are basically empty, unsourced, and incorrectly titled, so deleting them and restarting from scratch (if anyone is inclined to actually write a real article on these) is a much better option than trying to save these. The award (in 1996) was actually called "The Queen’s Award for Export Achievement" . The disambiguation of the article title is completely unnecessary. The articles for 1976-1979, 1981-1982, 1984-2000 and 2004 are all equally empty as this one, despite all being prodded in January 2011 for this reason. The article creator removed the prods but didn't improve the articles. Fram (talk) 14:35, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the background details, I didn't know about the short but turbulent history of this chain of articles. --Wtshymanski (talk) 14:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article's practically blank.  There's no information here beyond that the award exists and it was awarded by someone.  At best, this can be merged, but I don't think even a merged article could meet guidelines.  --Tathar (talk) 10:26, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
