[edit] Atlantic Writers Competition

Atlantic Writers Competition (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Deletion nomination Non-notable writing award. No evidence of any notice to this award is given besides the organization that gives it. Without any sources independant of itself that can attest to its notability, then it does not pass the relevent guideline, WP:N Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:49, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, it seems to be a real award, but I can't find any evidence that it's particularly notable as far as writing competitions go. Lankiveil (talk) 11:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Canada-related deletions. —User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 18:45, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Weak keep, Certainly real, and just notable enough to pass WP:N - see [[1]] and [[2]] and [[3]]. Springnuts (talk) 15:17, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean up. Needs a complete rewrite and some references to go with it, but it looks to be manageable. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 16:37, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep – However the name should be changed to “Atlantic Writing Competition”. Under this heading, there does seem to be some claim of notability as shown here. [4] Shoessss |  Chat  19:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Really? Because I see in the google search you site, links to the website of the competition itself (self published, can't establish notability), Wikipedia pages (can't be used to establish notability) and resumes of people who have won the award (again, resumes are self-published and unreliable for establishing notability). Could you point to a website, newspaper, or other reliable source which discusses the award in a substantial and non-trivial way? Because no one has done so yet. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 19:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment – {{{1|JERRY talk contribs, I appreciate the job you are trying to do! However, your job is to make a decision! Either, Keep or Delete , stop the re-listing Shoessss |  Chat  02:30, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Xe could have closed it as no consensus, but I imagine he felt it needed deletion. There's no harm in relisting. --Dhartung | Talk 07:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, no sources found in a search of Google News Archive. In Google Books there are listings of awards won by authors in book CVs that include it, but those mentions are the definition of trivial. The best that can be said of it is that some of its winners have gone on to bigger and better things. --Dhartung | Talk 07:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. No significant coverage from secondary sources. Doctorfluffy (talk) 18:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
