This does not meet the notability requirements. Most of the article relies on self-referential or self-published content. I'm not even sure that the two independent sources support notability either. —

Delete. Hits on gry-online.pl and a two-sentence Kotaku article. For the sources currently used in the article, I'm not sure about Gamona's reliability, Giant Bomb is
not a reliable source, and the primary sources aren't useful for establishing whether the awards are notable by independent, secondary sources. I don't see
significant coverage to meet the
GNG—not many hits for either "vidya gaem award" or "/v/mas", and thus not enough content to write an article. At first I considered a redirect to a new article, the only reasonable spin-off, /v/ (4chan), but after a quick search, I don't think /v/ has sig cov as of now either. czar⨹08:15, 29 November 2014 (UTC)reply
Minor question regarding Giant Bomb. Are you suggesting that the paricular citation is unreliable or the entire site in general? I ask because if it is the latter it goes against what the sourcing page linked to says. The site is listed as situational and is considered reliable or news coverage and reviews by staff members. If on the other hand you were calling it unreliable the article in question did not meet the situational threshold to be considered reliable please disregard.--

I'm not sure if this is what Czar meant, but the Giant Bomb article doesn't actually mention these awards, it just seems to be being used to back up the statement about negative reception of another award ceremony.

I'm not entirely sure either, but the general consensus on GB is that their articles written by staff members are usable, but their wikia-like stuff is not, per
WP:SPS - any ol' random person could alter it at any time. I don't have a link, so I can't tell for sure which it is, but either way, even usuable sources don't seem to be covering it in
significant detail.

69.157 is right—I read it wrong. Alex Navarro writing for Giant Bomb should be okay. (GB is almost always a link to their wiki, which would be unreliable.) This said, a skim of
the GB source doesn't mention the Vidya Gaems, so it wouldn't be used to prove notability anyway. Only sites I found were the ones Sam mentioned above and the brief gry-online stuff (not enough content to write an article). czar⨹01:44, 30 November 2014 (UTC)reply
I imagine votes cast towards the awards. In any case, it doesn't matter for our purposes since we need secondary source coverage czar⨹03:59, 4 December 2014 (UTC)reply
