Article has been tagged for notability for over 7 years!! No evidence of notability per sources that would establish WP:GNG. The sources I see on the Google appear to be of the press release or blog nature. Team-specific awards rarely do. Much of this could be condensed and included in New York Mets award winners and league leaders. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:48, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Google is full of stories about the annual winners. No sense clogging up the page for the Mets' MLB award winners with this list of minor league winners. - Bbny-wiki-editor (talk) 20:42, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bbny-wiki-editor, like this and like this, yes. That hardly makes the "award" notable; the players are. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:25, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Announcements of winners by the Mets doesn't constitute independent coverage. (And besides, it's the Mets.) Clarityfiend (talk) 21:53, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Clarityfiend, ha! – Muboshgu (talk) 22:40, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG for the lack of significant coverage in secondary sources. This was the best I could find on the subject [1]. Bbny-wiki-editor's argument is invalid because notability isn't inherited from the players per WP:NOTINHERITED. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 09:54, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Worse yet, that scottsdaleindependent.com reference is about a different Sterling Award altogether: "The awards will honor businesses in four categories: micro business; small business; big business; and non-profit.".

Delete. Some representative search results (actually, all the results which looked worth opening on the first three pages of a Google search for 'sterling award baseball'):

Luis Santana Named Sterling Award Recipient. (1) That's about the player, not the award. (2) It's a Mets' publication, and not independent.
Mets announce 2018 Sterling Award winners. The page is headed 'a New York Mets community'; it isn't independent.
Ross Adolph Earns New York Mets’ Sterling Award. That's about the player.
METS ANNOUNCE STERLING AWARD WINNERS. Brooklyn Cyclones' website; and (you guessed it) the Cyclones are part of the Mets organisation.

Fails WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage addressing the topic directly and in detail. Narky Blert (talk) 10:12, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
