Samba d'Or[edit]

Unsourced and poorly-written article about a non-notable subject; zero hits on Google searches for both names of this award. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 05:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the prestigious Noticias (magazine) considers this award worthy of a feature - here. Also referred to here. Smile a While (talk) 23:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment These snippets are more about a Spanish league player winning an award, rather than its notability (non-league/federation sanctioned, and voted on in part by fans via the Internet). Google searches on "Samba D'or," "Samba Gold" and "Samba Association" all turned up nothing except one dead link. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 00:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sorry, but there is no point in repeating this claim when it is simply wrong. I turned up the above two references through a Google search and there are a number of others - [1], [2], [3], [4] etc. Smile a While (talk) 00:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
