DAR Award

Delete unsourced article about a nn award Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep It may be presently unsourced, but it is sourceable. A Google News search [1] shows over 1800 articles in newspapers dating back to at least 1931 documenting how some student, reporter, veteran, or official received an award from the Daughters of the American Revolution. I give it only a weak "keep" because the articles are about the giving of the award to some individual, rather than being about the award as such. Local papers routinely run an article when someone wins any such award. It does show a widespread coverage over many decades. An alternative would be to expand it a bit (there appear to be awards for more than history) and to merge it to the article about the DAR. Edison (talk) 04:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Daughters of the American Revolution. There is actually more information and context in the main article than in this one line stub so there is nothing to merge. There is ample room for expansion in the main article, and if the section grows, then I would support a split of the section to a stand-alone article then. -- Whpq (talk) 17:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
