The result was delete. There's no real policy argument for keeping the article, beyond a desire to explain what the awards are, which already exists in the individual article. GedUK  12:56, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: All awards barring the one given by Eurobasket.com would pass the notability test but they already have articles and in effect have next to never (if ever) been quoted together by a source. Note that the article creator was banned for disruptive editing. ArmstrongJulian (talk) 15:18, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This same editor is running through my articles that I created and listing them for deletion out of a personal grudge. They are also not notifying me of any of them being marked for deletion.Bluesangrel (talk) 01:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This XfD is about the notability of this article. Any conduct issues will be dealt with at the ANI you filed.—Bagumba (talk) 20:57, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete No prejudice if there is consensus later for WP:IAR to repeat information already found on the individual award pages because this grouping is inherently notable, but no arguments have come forth after two weeks that WP:LISTN is met. —Bagumba (talk) 20:57, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

KeepYou can vote only once. This article is needed to sort through the differences in the meanings and significance of these awards. People outside of Europe, or without a knowledge of the subject matter would not understand that. They would think any of these awards by themselves individually were the one and only such award. So the reason that this has such an article makes sense. I really don't see a reason why this particular article has basis to be deleted. I just don't. I will post this listing at the basketball project because some people that know European basketball would understand that better. I think it is perfectly reasonable and logical to have this article.Bluesangrel (talk) 22:16, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's no good faith whatsoever in this vote, only article ownership, but I'll answer nonetheless. Bluesangrel still hasn't proven how this article is notable or how it's more than just his original research. I've yet to find a source that refers the awards (especially the Eurobasket.com one) as a group. --ArmstrongJulian (talk) 11:30, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How is that original research? There is no original research in any of that.Bluesangrel (talk) 21:39, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
