All references provided seem to be connected to the subject and no widespread coverage [[1]]. At most this should be a redirect to the organization that awards them but I'm not seeing how it passes WP:GNG Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:13, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NOGIs are to the diving world what Oscars and Emmys are to the motion picture and television industries. There are already Wikipedia pages relative to those awards as well as others for music, etc. (For examples see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscars and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmy). The NOGI is now in its 53rd year and merits one too. If you look at how many NOGI honorees are already subjects of Wikipedia articles and already mention their NOGI award on their page, you will see why this page is needed. And, if you read through you will see that the information is not simply copied and does not violate copyright. Although the list of the honorees contains the same information that can be found on the Academy of Underwater Arts & Sciences website, it is presented in a different and far more useful way, and it links to many of the honorees who have Wikipedia pages about them. I suspect others can add a great deal to this page and I highly encourage them to do so. The 53rd Annual Awards Gala is to be held in Orlando on November 7, 2013 and there will be international news coverage, perhaps some of that coverage will help strengthen this page.

Keep. This source demonstrates some of what new User:RebaLee74 states above. A reasonable search turns up this and this. I'm satisfied this page covers a significant award ceremony associated with a narrow but recognized field. I'd think that lots of offline sources could be produced, the awards being presented for 50+ years. BusterD (talk) 23:33, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree, Oscar of the diving world and some of the most important oceanographers, water-centric artists (i.e. Wyland), and under water filmmakers have won awards. Might have to be a stub, but it passes our general notability guidelines if you do your digging. SarahStierch (talk) 17:26, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
