I was looking into whether this article should be delisted or not. I asked at the Teahouse and the editor that responded didn't seem to think my rationale was necessarily bad, but I've recently had AfDs that went poorly so I figured I would drop my rationale here on the talk page and if someone else
879:
There are actually quite a lot of sources that talk about winning the fancast award - notable authors, publishers, etc. - but the problem in regards to composing a list is that it doesn't add anything to the list to cite them; it's just "I won!" or "an author that writes for us won!", which doesn't
867:
My contention is that the "Hugo Awards", as a concept, are very notable, and winning a Hugo, regardless of category, is considered winning a major sff award. I further contend that as an extension of that, it makes sense for the categories that are long enough to support a list to be split off into
799:
even for demonstrating notability of the award itself rather than this category specifically. Google Books and Google Scholar yield even fewer results with nothing that contains in-depth or significant coverage of this specific award category. I don’t see how this specific category of the award is
787:, featured lists should “cover a topic that lends itself to list format and ... meet the requirements for all Knowledge content.” Most of the sources currently being cited are not reliable and independent secondary sources. Some of them don’t even mention the words “fancast” or “podcast” such as 833:
but I think the example maps on pretty well and I'm trying to explain where I'm coming from here rather than persuade anyone of my above rationale. I'm wondering if I'm missing some really obvious policy or guideline and wanted some input. Don't ping me though if you're just here to yell at me.
859:
Yes, in ~2010 I got all of the extant Hugo categories to FL. Since then, since they've added a few new categories in the past decade, I've gotten Graphic Story promoted (2011), Fancast promoted (2015), and plan on getting Best Series to FL after the awards this year as it will have gotten long
915:
thank you for the prompt and thorough response. I didn't even realise you were still active on Knowledge. I was expecting a much more abrasive answer and appreciate the tone you used. As I said above I'm not going to pursue the delisting, but hearing your rationale is much appreciated.
883:
I see where you're coming from with the iHeartRadio awards lists, but I think there's a big difference between trying to make lists for individual award ceremonies for a 7-year old awards show and having lists for the entire categories of a 68-year old "premier award in science
825:. The article was promoted to a featured list in 2015, but there doesn’t appear to be any discussion about the article’s notability during the nomination. I think the article should either be merged with the award or deleted, but delisting would likely be the first step. 887:
All that said, anyone can start an FLRC if they want! The process exists for a reason, and it will get a wider audience than this talk page. This is the first complaint of its nature in 11 years and 17 lists, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you're wrong.
821:(it appears the same editor got at least 15 award categories promoted to featured sometime around 2010), but claiming that this article should not be deleted or not be delisted because similar articles exist would likely be considered an example of 875:
Merging this or any of the sublists into Hugo Award would create major undue weight to that article, as you'd have the article spend most of it's length talking about the awards in general and then suddenly spend a lot of time on a specific award
171: 35: 828:
I previously tried creating articles for the separate years of the iHeartRadio awards and in the end none of mine got published and others got deleted, which I understand this rationale would be considered

translate to useful information to the reader. Generally, sources that have longer, more relevant things to say talk about the Hugo awards as a group, not specific subcategories.

article. Most of these 17 lists are quite long, simply due to being around for decades; this one is one of the shorter lists as it's one of the shorter categories.
