While this is a good idea, I feel it sorely needs restructuring, and certain "challenges" need to be deleted. I mentioned my concerns here, and my concerns still stand. While the "challenges" that involve actual work, such as improving articles to GA status, is a good idea, challenges such as Recent Changes Patrol, this whole section, this, and this, to name a few, are serious issues that need addressing, and I think, these ones specifically, need deletion.

- Delete just nuke the whole thing - it's ridiculously over the top. We're an encyclopedia, not an award ceremony. Al Tally (talk) 20:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- some sections are actually useful, but others ought to be nuked --Enric Naval (talk) 20:24, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure this is the correct venue - you don't really want the page deleted, just sections removing. That's not what MfD is for. My comment is therefore keep the page and be bold to remove the stated sections and reorganise the page. If there's dispute about it, use the dispute resolution channels such as RfC.

- Keep - Steve, although it needs cleaning up, I don't think Diligent Terrier meant you to take that seriously. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 20:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- This isn't about what I told or spoke to them. I've seen this as an issue for quite some time, I decided to take it to MFD today. Nothing to do with what they said. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 20:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Seems like its unnecessary and redundant to WP:REWARD Alexfusco5 20:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - Why are we trying to delete this page? While some users don't like the "award ceremony" part, there are many challenges that require fixing Wikipedia articles. I just finished up partly expanding an article. Without the award center, I wouldn't have even known of the page. The whole idea of "nuking it" is ridiculious. Why would we destroy something that helps Wikipedia so greatly? I think a vote would show an overwhelming amount of users who value the award center and would like the page to stay.
I may not be PC, but those are my thoughts.--Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan (talk) 21:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- WP:REWARD, while commonly a monetary reward can be offered, is also becoming common practice to offer other rewards, such as one person editing an article in exchange for the other user editing another article. Reward centre seems partially redundant to me. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 21:17, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep and remove the offending portions; they encourage sloppy mass reporting. Apart from that, it's fine. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 21:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - Steve, I suggest you look at Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Sharkface217/Award_Center. The Award Center is a user page that encourages the development of Wikipedia. --SharkfaceT/C 21:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- And Steve, it would be wise to just ask the sponsors of those challenges to take them down. --SharkfaceT/C 21:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've looked at that one. Seems the portions on the AWC are being blanked. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 21:27, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I went all bold and removed the sections I personally felt were encouraging sloppy, underpar editing or stances in deletion. Feel free to continue. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 21:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
