The second entry is incorrect because the article that it refers to, the ''British Soap Awards'', does not mention that it is abbreviated "BSA", and therefore is unlikely to be searched for by that letter combination. The Boy Scouts of America page, however, notes that the organization ''is'' abbreviated "BSA", and would thus be a likely candidate for someone searching that initialism.
