The result was delete‎. After 3 weeks of AfD, the article is still entirely unsourced, so there can be no other outcome. Sandstein 12:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Belg der Belgen[edit]

Belg der Belgen (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No refs on the page for many years. Appears to be a newspaper poll (rather than similar pages on Belgian TV shows) with little to suggest that notability has been shown to the inclusion standards JMWt (talk) 08:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: News media and Belgium. JMWt (talk) 08:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

with respect to the 2011 AfD, I would say that the fact no sources have been added between then and now suggests that there aren't any to find. Hence not notable. JMWt (talk) 08:59, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. A major competition of Het Nieuwsblad, the second newspaper of Belgium in readership, falling just short of Het Laatste Nieuws. Nomination is focused on references in the article, unjustifiably circumventing the golden WP:NEXIST rule. gidonb (talk) 13:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The following are articles entirely on the competition.[1] [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Important to add that the interest is continuous and the results of the Belg der Belgen are often referenced since. gidonb (talk) 00:15, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or redirect to Het Nieuwsblad. Each and every source applied and suggested are from the newspaper creating the poll, so of course they're covering it every time. It's a promotion by the journal. Nothing independent or reliable applied. A newspaper might proclaim anybody anything they like, but if nobody else covered it, Wikipedia doesn't either.
