  • Keep: With ~571,000 Google hits, it seems pretty notable. If there's that many hits, I'm sure someone can find some sources!...... Dendodge .. TalkHelp 09:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Well, obviously a search for the two common words 'roger' and 'award' is going to return a whole bunch of irrelevant results. Search for "roger award", and among the few thousand you might find the occasional site that actually has something to do with it. John Nevard (talk) 20:30, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep: there does seem to have been significant independent coverage in New Internationalist and Green Left Weekly; I've added references to this to the article. Scog (talk) 10:24, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Whatever else these other keepers are saying, plus this one might be a good candidate for Wikipedia:Unusual articles. --Firefly322 (talk) 14:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep There seem to be numerous news articles in various sources, I found several more with a news.google.co.nz search that are focused on yearly "winners" of the awards, on other awards inspired by this one, etc. Ryan Paddy (talk) 00:32, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
