Keep. "The Frisch medal is not only one of the top three prizes in the field of economics, but also the most prestigious 'best article' award in the profession, says Rich Jensen, Gilbert F. Schaefer Professor of Economics at Notre Dame and chair of the Department of Economics."[1] "MIT economist Robert M. Townsend has been awarded the prestigious Frisch Medal".[2] "Many [Boston University] faculty have won prestigious awards such as ... the Frisch Medal".[3] Clarityfiend (talk) 00:02, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As Clarityfiend shows the award is notable. Th only other option would be to merge it into Frisch, meaning that article would have a long list. This is mainly a list article. Jonpatterns (talk) 18:23, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just come up with some non-related reliable sources. The Banner talk 18:30, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did: three top universities consider it noteworthy. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:04, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was asking for independent reliable sources. Not articles from universities that are happy that their professor got the medal. The Banner talk 00:03, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First, they are independent; they have nothing to do with awarding the medal. Second, if it weren't a significant honor, they wouldn't be happy crowing about it, would they? Clarityfiend (talk) 07:41, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - most refs regarding the award are related to someone winning it. As is the case with most awards. This study mentions the award study (pdf) Jonpatterns (talk) 19:32, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:24, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems notable enough, in addition to sources mentioned by Clarityfiend I would also bring up over 400 results at google book search.--Staberinde (talk) 16:07, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
