There is nothing to indicate that there is any notable about this prize. The only sources are links to the organization that hands these prizes out. A brief mention on the page of the organization that hands these prizes out is sufficient. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 18:11, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, hi Snooganssnoogans, any consideration of merging some of this to William E. Simon#Simon's legacy? Coolabahapple (talk) 22:29, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think one or two sentences can be added to that page. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 23:13, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The prize sum is considerable and the recipients are all notable, all but one having their own Wikipedia article. There is no need to delete this page. I have added the recipients of the last three years. Eissink (talk) 15:42, 26 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Why does it matter that the recipients are notable? Did the prize make them notable? There is zero RS coverage of this prize. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 16:15, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subjects can make lists interesting. While this is far from a minor prize, the character makes it less suitable for coverage – it's not an annual "Who is the best X in year Y?", contest-like prize. It might have gotten coverage around 2000/2001, when the award was created, most likely also in peer-to-peer charity magazines and the like, sources that are not available to the average Wikipedian (I did find several RS mentions of the prize, though).

Delete no evidence that this organization (it is effectively about the activities of an organization, William E. Simon Foundation) meets NCORP. Possibly a redirect or selective merge could be done. (t · c) buidhe 13:03, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

weak merge to William_E._Simon#Simon's_legacy, seems a way to preserve the content. DOn't merge the list of recipients, though. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 01:40, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
