Non-notable awards shows. Have had unaddressed notability concerns since 2017. PROD of the 1st show was
challenged in favour of fuller discussion as a set. I would consider this largely pro-forma as I have not looked into all of these.

I don't think we'd need to add the overarching article or category. The category is set up to cover the all-encompassing awards, not individual years. The overarching award (and the best lead actor) pages can be shown to be notable by looking at these pages. Out of the 14 pages, there are already 3 independent sources reporting on specific years:
Famitsu,
Anime News Network, and
Crunchyroll. Other sources would include
Anime! Anime! and
Animate Times at the least (though some of these would be dupes of the English outlets. -

Keep per
WP:NOTPAPER since these greatly simplify reader navigation. As stated above, the overall awards are notable when stepping back and seeing the reporting on them year to year. In effect, the worst-case argument would be to delete individual years for failing to meet GNG, but if that is the case, what you end up with is everything has potential to be merged into the parent article because you would only need a single source to
verify facts from a particular year of a notable award. This makes an extremely large, overbearing page that becomes difficult to navigate (see
Audie Award or
Eagle Award (comics) for example). Summary style
WP:SPINOUTs greatly improve readablility.
Even if we single out the first award,
Anime News Network also covered the those
here, and prior to the winner announcements, Anime! Anime had
this report. Crunchyroll also covered
8-12 and 14, so I'd say keep those as well if forced to evaluate individually. Those satisfy me across the board to assume sources
WP:NEXIST, but I don't have the energy to search translated pages for every year. If more sources are desired by others, though, here are some aids: Search term: 声優アワード Find sources:Google (
books·news·scholar·free images·WP refs) ·FENS·JSTOR·TWL And here are results to sort through from
Anime! Anime! and
Animate Times —

Keep Places that cover anime news cover these awards, so they are a notable award.

Keep as the awards are notable as being covered by reliable sources, and as per
WP:PAPER remerging all these into the parent article would oversize the page making loading difficult over low speed connections, imv
