Deletion of Indian Television Academy Awards

Comment: After going through all arguments above, I suggest we merge all of these small articles into one main article, remove unsources material and develop a bare bones article on the topic. Yes, I agree with the point given above that the coverage of these awards could be suspect and I too have not found any third party coverage by a reliable source. Most publicity, like the Murdoch example is carried out by one arm of the media empire for the other or the winners declaring themselves on their books, magazines etc. There arent that many channels and I guess they can't stop these awards once everybody has been awarded. But, you will still get lot of hits on google books and news for the same reasons given above. So, we still have reasons for an article but with extreme prejudive towards . I have found a lot of secondary reference to the subject. The problem here is that the awards are quite new. Found some reference here with regards to Derrick o Brien {{cite book|author1=O'brien|author2=Derek|title=Cadbury Bournvita|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=6yFisOEAjOsC&pg=PP3|accessdate=15 September 2012|publisher=Penguin Books India|isbn=978-0-14-333026-4|page=3}}. Found a reference here about currrent affairs of 2007{{cite book|author=Laxmikanth|title=Current Affairs Reckoner|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=5lEDLKaYW7gC&pg=SL1-PA109|accessdate=15 September 2012|publisher=Tata McGraw-Hill Education|isbn=978-0-07-022166-6|pages=A–109}} and some more about Aaj Tak{{cite book|title=Business today|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=tykUAQAAMAAJ|accessdate=15 September 2012|year=2005|publisher=Living Media India Ltd.|page=214}}. Also found a mention here in the career profile of Sanjeev Kapoor{{cite book|author1=Sanjeev Kapoor|author2=Alyona Kapoor|title=Sanjeev Kapoor's No-Oil Cooking|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=F683gKF2UScC&pg=PA145|accessdate=15 September 2012|year=2006|publisher=Popular Prakashan|isbn=978-81-7991-279-9|page=145}}. Also found secondary coverage regarding some television serials{{cite book|title=Limca book of records|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=Py9LAQAAIAAJ|accessdate=15 September 2012|year=2006|publisher=Bisleri Beverages Ltd.|page=149}}. Maybe these articles need to be developed further but the topic is encyclopedic -Wikishagnik

Comment: Amongst heaps of essays written on Wikipedia i am surprised that there isn't any about awards. Well... i assume they are not considered something different and hence existence of articles on them should be simply based on .  The Indian Television Academy that was established probably in 2006 or before felicitates people working in Hindi-language television industry including various TV channels. It does not consider regional-language television shows. But this situation is much better than something like STAR Parivaar Awards where the TV channel Star Plus gives awards to shows that are aired on Star Plus itself. (Why do we have that in-house awards article then? That's because you will find many newspapers and articles talking about it. Very good coverage.) Given the case of awards related to Indian television, i find this award notable in this sense that it is given by a third party and has a fair scope. Now considering all the copyvios, promotions and such stuff because of all socks i find individual articles unnecessary. There is no point in increasing our own work of maintaining these articles. There are more socks and SPAs working on Indian TV shows than other regular Wikipedians and it hence becomes difficult to fight with all these incompetent people

Comment: Though it critically lacks major support from any , an analysis of the trivia fetched from g-search and http://www.highbeam.com/Search?searchTerm=indian+television+academy highbeam search points out that the subject, ITA Awards, has good encyclopedic notability. The associated articles listed above should be merged with the main one and the other issues, such as copyvio, sourcing, low quality, should be dealt separately
