Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/NOGI Awards

NOGIs are to the diving world what Oscars and Emmys are to the motion picture and television industries. There are already Wikipedia pages relative to those awards as well as others for music, etc. (For examples see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscars and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy). The NOGI is now in its 53rd year and merits one too. If you look at how many NOGI honorees are already subjects of Wikipedia articles and already mention their NOGI award on their page, you will see why this page is needed. And, if you read through you will see that the information is not simply copied and does not violate copyright. Although the list of the honorees contains the same information that can be found on the Academy of Underwater Arts & Sciences website, it is presented in a different and far more useful way, and it links to many of the honorees who have Wikipedia pages about them. I suspect others can add a great deal to this page and I highly encourage them to do so. The 53rd Annual Awards Gala is to be held in Orlando on November 7, 2013 and there will be international news coverage, perhaps some of that coverage will help strengthen this page.
