Obvious
WP:PROD material, but it had a prod contested back in 2011 which technically makes it ineligible. Promotional nonsense for a meaningless "award", needless to say with no references whatsoever. A
WP:BEFORE search just brings up assorted places selling these plaques, and were it not for
WP:AGF the cynic in me would say the only reason this non-article exists at all is to give credibility to the firms selling these things. ‑

Delete per nom. Non-notable advertising guff. Fails
WP:NPRODUCT,
WP:GNG and
WP:SIGCOV. A
WP:BEFORE search returns no independent coverage of the subject in its own right. A search on one of the main newspapers of record in Ireland (Irish Times), for example, returns
just two results. Both are just trivial passing mentions. And one of the two results only mentions it to call it out as a form of
"crass" "advertisement". A search on the website of the main broadcaster in Ireland (RTÉ), also returns just
one trivial passing mention. And this, again, only mentions the subject to decry it as rubbish:
"You can buy a plaque with Joyce's head and some guff about an authentic Dublin pub award on the internet for €395.00". The PROD was seeming denied back in 2011 on the basis of a technicality. That the PROD tag used was for companies. And that the subject (essentially a product) couldn't be PROD'ed as a company. That may have been the right approach at the time. But there is no way that should have a bearing on a fullsome AfD review. PROMO, VER, COI, SPA and other concerns also abound. Mine is a very firm "delete" recommendation.

Delete per nom, not a notable award.
