Toronto Independent Music Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Improperly sourced article about a minor local award of little to no wider interest. This is referenced almost entirely to the award's own primary source website about itself, some of the winning artists' own primary source websites about themselves, and non-notable blogs — and the only two things here that actually qualify as reliable sources, the Barrie Examiner and Sudbury Living, are coverage of individual musicians in the recipients list rather than coverage of the awards per se. There's simply not the depth of coverage being shown to get this over WP:GNG — and the notability claim being made on the talk page in response to a prior prod attempt, that they're notable because there are some artists who won a TIMA early in their careers and then later went on to become notable somebodies with Wikipedia articles, is a transparent failure of notability is not inherited. High schools could claim notability for their own internal student achievement awards if "somebody who won this once eventually became famous" were a valid notability claim in and of itself.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete as promotionalism on an unremarkable subject; article exists to list the largely nn acts. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:14, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
