Non-notable local award at one university. No assertion of importance. GrapedApe (talk) 14:44, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak keep~~ A bit of Google searching implies that there are possibly unrelated secondary sources covering this (which would make it meet WP:GNG), although the article doesn't seem to be covering the sources, and I can't access the apparent sources myself. We really need some sort of ultimatum for this: add sources that show significance, or conclude that the article isn't significant. --ais523 23:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- From what I can tell, those sources are for an unrelated Australian award.--GrapedApe (talk) 00:04, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I strike my comment, then, as it's based on incorrect information. --ais523 17:29, 4 October 2010 (U T C)
Delete per WP:V; my attempts at finding sources failed, and it seems unlikely that more will turn up in the future. You can't write an article without some sort of proof that the article is correct. --ais523 17:29, 4 October 2010 (U T C)
Keep On the notability issue, if notability of the entry is judged by the exclusivity and notability of the recipients this seems to be a very distinguished, as well as notable, award. Among the listed recipients three have already been awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. Several of the others that are among the ones that are frequently mentioned as possible future prize recipients. Among the listed deceased recipients, several are extremely notable economists like John Muth ("the Father of the Rational Expectations Revolution in Economics"), Albert Ando (the first who developed tractable overlapping-generation models), and Jan Mossin (derived the Capital Asset Pricing Model, CAPM). On the documentation issue, it is no reason to believe that the current information on the page is not true. I nonetheless fully agree with users GrapedApe and ais523 that it preferably should be better documented. If we agree on notability conditional on that the information could be verified we can go ahead and find public verification for the current page. - Buldri (talk) 05:47, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
