Why are the Billboard awards not listed here? There are 42 Billboard awards missing alone. Please don’t confuse the Billboard Awards with the Billboard Music Awards. The only difference is that one was televised and the other wasn’t. I see them listed for other artists like Madonna, I can see the awards for every year listed on Billboard’s website [here is the list for 1983]. I can see Wikipedia articles about the awards, so why aren’t they listed here? From 1979 - 1983 there are approximately 44 awards missing just in that 5 year period. Awards from Cashbox, Billboard, RollingStones Magazine, and NAACP Image Awards. This included awards in USA, Australia, Brazil, Holland, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the UK. I see where these awards were removed based with no edit summary and based on opinion and and not any guidelines. What are the rules for adding awards? Obviously it needs to be sourced, that’s the easy part. What are the other rules?TruthGuardians (talk) 01:31, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
So I’ve taken the time to focus on the Billboard and Cashbox awards only. You will find the awards and the sources below. I chose not to add the RollingStones awards because they appear to be fan poll type of awards and I’m not so sure that should count. Nonetheless, here are 31 awards needing to be added:
