No evidence thatt his is a notable award, especialy since almost none of the people it has been awarded to seem to be notable DGG ( talk ) 04:12, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails Wikipedia:Notability (awards) (which will hopefully get finished), and in the meantime, WP:GNG. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:36, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as I examined the article but still found nothing to suggest any actual solid independent notability of its own article. SwisterTwister talk 06:23, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I found mention of the award in local articles about the winners, but nothing that specifically focuses on the award itself. To establish this we'd need something written about the awards or at least a list of the award recipients. I didn't see that while searching. There were tons of false positives for a separate award given out by the Royal Society, but not really anything for this award. On a side note I also saw that the award's social media accounts had a fairly low amount of followers. This by itself doesn't count for or against notability, but it's usually not a great sign when an award organization has a fairly low amount of people following them on social media, as it means that they likely haven't received coverage. This isn't a guarantee, but it's usually pretty telling. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:13, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
