Video game awards body with no assertion of notability. I've seen zero coverage from mainstream video game news outlets and searching Google News, I only see self-published sources and republished press releases from the organization itself (which counts as self-published). All of the references in the page itself are also self-published. Axem Titanium (talk) 19:34, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

- There are also subcategories such as NAVGTR Animation Award, NAVGTR Camera Direction in a Game Engine Award, NAVGTR Character Design Award, NAVGTR Award for Control Precision, NAVGTR Award for Costume Design, NAVGTR Award for Direction in a Game Cinema, NAVGTR Award for Direction in Virtual Reality, NAVGTR Award for Engineering, NAVGTR Award for Sound Effects and NAVGTR Award for Game of the Year. These should be bundled since I can’t see any of these being notable if the overall awards aren’t.--69.157.252.96 (talk) 06:54, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
Your statement that the subject has "zero coverage from mainstream video game news outlets" is incorrect. A casual, quick Google Search I just did found the following links, including those from a few generalist technology websites:
- https://venturebeat.com/community/2012/02/19/5-ways-navgtr-does-video-game-awards-right/ (old Bitmob article from 2012 which is incorporated into VentureBeat)

As for your assertion that you only see "self-published sources and republished press releases from the organization itself (which counts as self-published)", what about press releases republished by Yahoo! and Gamasutra?

However, the article needs a lot of work and trimming. I am also not sure why there's a rash for standalone articles for NAVGTR subcategory awards. Even if a consensus is formed where the subject matter itself is notable, I highly doubt that any of the subcategory awards are. If the page survives AfD.
Oppose deletion of main article, but all other sub articles should be deleted and/or merged. Haleth (talk) 11:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep main article and merge all sub articles based on VentureBeat article which has depth and seems independent. @Haleth: Republished press releases are no more reliable than self-published press release; see discussion of churnalism at WP:NEWSORG. Daask (talk) 12:52, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
