Kohler Award[edit]

Looks like something made up in school one day. I speedy-tagged Classic Log and Good Log as nonsense before discovering this whole set of buddycruft. Also including Herman Alexander Weck (purported award recipient) and Kohler Hall (linked only from this series of pages, and doesn't appear to be notable enough for its own page otherwise).

Save. I assure you, this award exists. I understand that there are not many pages linking to and from this page, but it is a very small ordeal as of now (in fact, as you can see, the ceremony takes place in the woods!). This award was indeed given, and we are hoping to award another Kohler Award very soon! Hopefully, the recipiant will be excited to see the award up on Wikipedia! -SpaceNeedle 05:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but your assurance doesn't meet the verifiability requirement, and this is not the place to announce the next winner of such a small award. Opabinia regalis 05:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The award needs to become famous before it appears on Wikipedia, rather than the other way around. BigHaz 05:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Save. Please, survey the students of Lawrence University, it is a well known award. We are just a small school; I question whether you have asked actual students about it. Consider other Lawrence traditions, such as the trivia contest... -ICanDoItNineTimes 05:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The trivia contest is notable, verifiable and sourced. When this award becomes the same, it can be here. BigHaz 06:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- If the only way for readers to find out something is to travel to one particular country and repeat the primary research of interviewing a lot of people, then it is original research, which is forbidden here. The places for documenting something that has not been documented before are a journal article, a magazine, a book, or your own web site. Uncle G 18:39, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable. It's not even a university award; it's a dorm award. Fan-1967 07:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - an award that takes place in woodland is not particularly notable. Also unverifiable OR. Kohler Hall is also nn. Molerat 23:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom; perhaps merge into something that it is relevant to? --Dennis The TIger 02:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment is there anything it's particularly relevant to, though? It seems to be just a bunch of college buddies hanging out in the woods at the moment, which doesn't strike me as being connected to much. BigHaz 02:41, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both Even if verifiable, this prize given to a person who is a member of a student halls of residence in Lawrence University is clearly much to small a subset for a wiki article. Ohconfucius 05:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
