Comment. Of those three two sources, one is self-published, and the other reads like a press release. Neither is WP:RS and neither demonstrates WP:N. That's what's going on. Narky Blert (talk) 20:03, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment links shows a number of articles linked to this article created mostly by the same author or one author, some of which are up for deletion. This is probably the key linking article. There is at least the possibility the objective is to promote Obaland Awards. Some linked articles may be able to stand on their own merits or have been pre-existing. I am somewhat of the opinion draftification should be considered as 'too soon'.Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:43, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I've added two citations to the References section. The one to The Independent is rather feeble, but the one to Leadership looks OK. Both predate this article. (I also found some citations mentioning recipients of the Award, but haven't added them; they don't demonstrate notability of the Award itself. If the article survives this AFD, things like those could be useful additions.) Narky Blert (talk) 16:28, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
