This article came up in my patrols for articles that mention "Network Products Guide" because this is a pay for play award and its presence is usually indicative of a need for quick cleanup. After the cleanup was reverted, it came up in a search again for "Network Products Guide" so I've added it to my watchlist and took a closer look.
Here's a few things that jumped out at me:
Also, in general we never want an "Accolades" or "Recognition" section, which is almost always indicative of attempts to use Wikipedia for promotion. We do use Reception sections, which report based on in-depth, professional reviews. I note that Info Security Products Guide is a pay for play award and many of these are only "finalist" awards or trivial mentions in info-tainment news. Although there is no formal rule, the standard I was taught is that awards are worthy of inclusion if a profile story on the subject includes them. We would then follow the judgement of the source.
