Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | reply here 06:04, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  I don't think this falls afoul of NLIST due to the clause There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists .  This is a complex list: awards limited to those named after governors general.  So, in my assessment, first we see the govorners general are each notable, many of the awards are individually notable.  As such, this is not indiscriminate.  Non-notable or redlinked awards can reasonably be included for completeness of the list.  This also fulfills WP:LISTPURP both informational (as it differentiates different types of awards and their individual fields), and navigational as a well-defined index of such awards.  — siro χ o 06:17, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  Siroxo has succeeded in reading WP:NLIST more carefully than the nominator (who has my sympathies because the writing there is extremely awkward).  Discussion of the group by IRS is only "[o]ne accepted reason" for a list to be notable – one needs to think more broadly.  The current list fulfills a navigational purpose as explained rather nicely above.  Thincat ( talk ) 09:53, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete per NLIST and WP:SALAT , specifically "Lists that are too specific are also a problem."  Why governor generals of Canada only?  Is there a secret cabal of award-creating governor-generals of the Canadian persuasion?  Clarityfiend ( talk ) 11:55, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Weak Keep - I agree with Clarityfiend about SALAT.  Specifically, 'A list should be defined so that a reasonable number of readers seek it out.'  This is soooo not that.  I also find Siroxo 's points very persuasive. The tiebreaker for me is that, unlike 90% of the lists I see, this one is at least manageable in scope and has unambiguous SELCRIT. If deletionist arguments prevail (which they might well do), an AtD might be to remove 'Canadian' from the SELCRIT and globalise the list a little.  Perhaps something like List of awards named after government officials ?  Manageable, verifiable, global, and maybe at least a little bit something that 'a reasonable number of readers [might] seek it out.'  Cheers, Last1in ( talk ) 22:36, 24 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Neutral Almost every, if not every, governor general creates at least one award or trophy.  So, I think a list of them is useful.  However, whether it needs to be a standalone article: I don't lean either way.  This has been around for over a decade and nobody's questioned its existence.  But, now that someone has, I could see this info being moved to Governor General of Canada .  -- ₪ MIESIANIACAL 01:30, 26 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep A valid information list, and many of the awards have their own articles.
