This isn't going to be easy, but I do have the feeling it will be essential to avoid a flood of Ghanaian COI/UPE BLPs. This 'award' is a self-fueling entity, a business venture that publishes a magazine on the back of the award. On top of this core Awards article, we now have new articles being created about 2021 awards winners, 2022 awards winners etc etc. There is no evidence of notability to the awards, no independent oversight or committee and no entity backing them other than the commercial company that runs them for profit. It all has to go. The complete lack of SIGCOV from RS helps make that case. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:55, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I created this particular article. I have come to realization that there has been creation of 2021, 2022 awards lists etc. There needs to be a clean up and not a complete overhaul of the whole awards. Over the years, the awards has grown to one the Ghanaian top and notable awards. It has awarded and honoured several notable people in Ghana. It has been covered by all the top news outlets in Ghana also. I would repeat again that it is not about taking the whole award scheme away, I believe it is needs to be cleaned-up.

Keep a very notable scheme with significant coverage in reliable media Siagoddess (talk) 11:11, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's come up in AfD where individuals have won this "award". Does appear to be self-promotional. I couldn't find much discussing it. I'd ask the Wiki Africa taskforce for assistance perhaps. Oaktree b (talk) 14:21, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment A quick search results on Wikipedia as shown here shows the notability of the award scheme as referenced by several notable Africans. Siagoddess (talk) 17:44, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This looks like clear self-promotion to me. Rhombus (talk) 07:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rhombus, can you explain why you tag this article as "self-promotion" ? Siagoddess (talk) 10:14, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
