This awards program, a promotion by the trade magazine "Footwear News," is only sourced to the magazine itself. A BEFORE fails to find any other acknowledgment of the awards. Chetsford (talk) 00:43, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• 2015's event got some coverage outside of Footwear News, although mainly because Kanye West picked up an award for his shoe.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] I don't know why this year has a page and no other years do; it might be better to have one article on the history of the awards which could include a list of winners for each year. Rihanna won something in 2016, also getting a lot of press, and fashion trade papers like WWD seem to cover it every year. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:EVENT. None of the sources found by Colapeninsula represent in-depth coverage about the subject. No lasting significance.--Pontificalibus 13:08, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete this article about one year's ceremony, but without any prejudice at all against someone making a new article about the awards as a whole, per Colapeninsula. They're clearly well-attended and they've accrued attention over time. Billboard has called them "the industry bible for footwear" (as List of awards and nominations received by Rihanna § Footwear News Achievement Awards notes). (Surprising that "A BEFORE fails to find any other acknowledgment of the awards") But, there's little to say about any one year so the better structure is one article about the lot.

• Delete -- an unremarkable industry award, that's PR-driven. I'm not convinced that the program is notable as a whole either. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:19, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The whole award is likely not notable not talk of one of its event. It just got some media coverage due to personalities they invited. If you remove those references of who attended the award is stark non notable.–Ammarpad (talk) 16:15, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
