Did the awards end in 2005? This article mentions nothing after that year. Format (talk) 20:25, 20 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

It's over 10 years later and I was wondering the same thing! Added some tags to the article. -- HistoricalAccountings (talk) 12:54, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Result was merge.

Reason: The Soapy Awards became the Soap Opera Digest Awards, so could be an earlier history on the same page - it just makes sense to have them in the same article. Also, both articles are in need of work and expansion, and having them merged might give the overall article more depth before it can be expanded further. -- HistoricalAccountings (talk) 15:07, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Support. It would help if you'd actually add a summary of your reasons for proposing the merger, rather than just saying "discuss here", but that said I entirely get the issue: essentially the "Soapy Awards" became the "Soap Opera Digest Awards". And while there can sometimes be situations where separate articles are genuinely warranted when one thing becomes another, this isn't one of them — neither article is particularly long or well-sourced as it is, so there's no pressing need for two separate articles treating them as separate topics.

Pages merged. Article still needs work.

Merged Soapy Awards into Soap Opera Digest Awards per discussion and consensus (see above).

Article still needs a lot of work. Have added tags.

Main issues to be fixed:

• 1. needs more sources
• 2. a list of winners between 1984-2005
• 3. a list of winners after 2005 (if any)
• 4. and especially information about the awards after 2005 (where the article stops) up to the present (when/if they stopped or if they still exist).

Will try to do some of this, but might not get to all of it, so would appreciate other editors who want to work on it too. -- HistoricalAccountings (talk) 02:19, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
