I see no evidence given that this is a notable awards--the lack of notability of almost the winners would seem to confirm this DGG ( talk ) 07:54, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Plenty of coverage (just from a quick Goole news search) of this award which is funded by the Danish government and under protection of the crown prince. However, I do agree that the article in its current state does not make that clear enough (It is certainly not properly sourced). It's quite lacking and fail to live up to basic MOS amongst other things. Also, the title needs to be changed, I think, to perhaps: Index: Design to Improve Life --Danmuz (talk) 06:18, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I added a quote from the NYTimes, it was really easy to find. These awards are also the subject of collegiate study, probably also meets notability there if there is an editor looking to fix the article. -- 009o9 (talk) 18:03, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep. As for the secondary argument "the lack of notability of almost [all] the winners" I linked to around a dozen people and/or projects/products that were not already linked, resulting in 72% of the winners being linked. Apart from being moot the argument to me appears like a reversed WP:ITSA. As for the primary argument "no evidence given that this is a notable award" the search for sources reveals an abundance. I've added 100+ sources, 17 of these being Google Book hits, numerous of the others being from national newspapers from several different countries. "Largest/biggest/important/influential" not to mention "the Nobel Prize of Design" clings to this award. Subject is notable. I support a move to INDEX: Design to Improve Life per WP:COMMONNAME and have applied MOS to that effect. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 08:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
