No evidence that these are significant in any measurable way. The user's other "contributions" include adding Percy Nobby Norton vandalism so I don't trust his judgement. Guy (Help!) 15:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable awards; have received significant media coverage for example The Age. Note that the bands mentioned in the article are all notable Australian bands. Raffles mk 12:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. This does receive fairly substantial media coverage in Australia - The Age above; The Sydney Morning Herald (Who's up for a Jack?, Powderfinger take gong for best live band, Live Aussie bands to vie for gongs; Channel V; Sunrise (Channel 7); ninemsn (Channel 9), . According to Undercover Magazine over 100,000 votes are cast, which is probably more votes than the Logies. The awards are presented by fairly major celebrities such as Tommy Lee, etc. I'll add these to the article soon. --Canley 21:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep even discounting the WP:COI reference to channel V, there are plenty of entertainment organisations talking about them. Hopefully, they'll still be around in five years and still have the same sponsor.Garrie 05:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Canley. JPD (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Nominator says there is no evidence the Jack Awards are significant but doesn't bother to provide any explanation of how he arrived at that conclusion. He's essentially asking us to "trust his judgement", while explicitly denying that courtesy to other users. Canley has given extensive evidence that the Jack Awards have gained exposure in Australia. I'm going to trust Canley's judgement along with that of the other keep voters. --JJay 20:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I agree that the awards have achieved national exposure - there are only a few national australian music awards of note and this is one of them - I believe that the article should be retained Dan arndt 02:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
