Prizes[edit]

Do not automatically confer notability, notable ones may. In fact In would argue that over reliance on non notable prizes is an indicator of lack of notability, no one cares they have even won a prize.Slatersteven (talk) 09:58, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on prizes. As a rule of thumb, winning a notable prize is a good indicator of passing WP:NPROF#2. And Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust Research likely qualifies. Jakob Buchman Prize for the Memory of the Holocaust is awarded by Yad Vashem, but I can't find that much coverage of it. Borderline, but I think suggestive of notability. Feel free to take it to AfD if you think it merits further discussion. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:11, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am dubious about the Yad Vashem International Book Prize for Holocaust Research being all that significant because (as far as I can see) it has not been awarded for 5 years, only in fact operated for about 3 years. So it was very much a flash in the pan memorial award, with no lasting significance.Slatersteven (talk) 16:53, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe Yad Vashem is just choosy in awarding its book prizes?

The book prize seems to have some importance, since mention of it is made in the "Jan Grabowski" article.

We are not an RS. All kinds of things are added to articles, that does not mean they are significant. Maybe they are choosy, and no book in the last five years has warranted an award, or maybe it was just a PR stunt, or maybe they were paid and no one does any more or maybe... But that is the problem with speculation.Slatersteven (talk) 11:14, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
