An article about a non-notable award which was created by an editor who has a clear COI. One of the references used for example is this advertorial in a reliable source which incidentally mentions the Wikipedia page as well. I don't see any evidence of notability and for all its worth, this article is being used for promotion. Suggest a TNT. Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:24, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with prejudice. Sourcing to their own advertisement, which in turn mentions this article, is some of the most barefaced abuse of Wikipedia for promotional purposes that I've seen. Oh, and non-notable. Bishonen | talk 10:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]
