Non-notable. No secondary sources for the past two years (random links were just added, but no references). Almost used as a schedule page for the series, rather than an encyclopedic article. Images placed everywhere. Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 03:16, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

- Undecided: I think it is notable, but I agree that the article in the current form is not up to standards. I don't have the time right now to improve it, but if someone would, I'd prefer that over deletion. Maybe we can trim it to a very short article just stating the basic facts about the series and maybe a list of winners in the main category?

- @ Wild8oar: The primary issue here is that Lgpuntor, who has made most of the contributions, has serious undeclared conflict of interest issues, and has been editing the article since at least November 2018. Their edits have essentially created a problematic mess, and this clear violation of WP:PLUG, WP:NOTGALLERY, etc. It needs a complete overhaul and without the direct involvement of Lgpuntor. I would not oppose something in draftspace where one could take their time to build a satisfactory article. But as it stands, as no one else currently wishes to improve this article so that it becomes an actual encyclopedic article rather than the current problematic mess it is, deletion may be necessary. -- Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS). 06:22, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
