Wikipedia talk:Notability (awards)

message: Clearly this has been proposed with best of intentions, but we just don't need guidelines for every imagined situation.  Please delete this proposal to spare us the instruction creep.  WP:N handles this just fine. --Kevin Murray 18:07, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xiaxue. People are using supposed "blog awards" from non notable organizations to argue for the keep of that article. It would be nice for some guidelines to point to when this happens, since it happens quite frequently. -N 18:10, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

text: (edit conflict)I agree with Kevin Murray. These situations do not arise all that frequently to require a separate guideline and are probably better handled on a case-by-case basis. For instance, Niyazov is notable even without the awards. At most, I think the idea expressed herein belongs in WP:BIO. -- Black Falcon (Talk) 18:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with BF; let's include the best of this at BIO if there is a demonstrable need. --Kevin Murray 18:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Niyazov article is a bad example anyways; Soviet leaders patted themselves on the back with various Soviet honors, including "Hero of the USSR." Bhreznev was fond of awarding himself various honors, including the Order of Victory (later stripped). The tradition carried post-Soviet era; where leaders are presented with awards either during or after their leadership (Niyazov is the only example that I know of self-awards while in power). The title is notable, since I have seen others get the honor. Other Soviet states have Hero titles and other honors, such as People's Artist, so there will have to be something on a "case by case" basis as other said.

thread_title:  I would suggest... 

message: Hi, just in case anyone's watchlisted this page, I wanted to cross-post an RfC that may be relevant: the talk page for Beauty Pageants is considering whether to draft a special notability guideline to deal at least with subnational pageant winners and whether that award automatically confers notability. (The question came up because of a large number of AfDs that turned on this question.) Would be great to have broader community input on the wisdom (or not) of creating a new SNG before we move forward. Nota, at the moment it's only about whether to try to make an SNG, not what the standard should be (latter question would be for a later RfC). 
Discussion starts here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beauty_Pageants#RFC_on_creation_of_consensus_standard
and there's a pending proposal for closure from me (the only one so far but of course others can propose alternatives): Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beauty_Pageants#Proposal_for_closure
Thanks for having a look. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:03, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I have a question: does The Anime Awards seem like a notable award? It's not in-house, it was voted by readers, and there's no real vetting. Apparently the award shows are presented by Internet celebrities... and I've yet to see any plaques or trophies from these awards. lullabying (talk) 21:13, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly not. I don't see the sort of third-part coverage expected of a notable award. I might nom that for deletion. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:29, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
