WTN X Prize

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's no refs (here or that I could find) that this award ever actually eventuated, though the original press releases got speculative coverage at the time (2004). World Technology Award just got deleted at AFD. If this has nothing more than a bit of coverage of a speculative announcement, it's not clear it passes GNG. Could redirect to X Prize Foundation, but this specific title gets almost no hits anyway. David Gerard (talk) 23:43, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per nominator's reasoning. Besides the BBC article from 2004 announcing the prize will exist, I can find no mention of it. My guess is it was never awarded. Either way, there doesn't seem to be enough to write an article on. Ajpolino (talk) 23:41, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete -- entirely WP:PROMO, and appears to have never been awarded, or at least noted by independent RS. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:45, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
