Include other prizes?

I think if you are NOT going to restrict the list of prizes to Nobel Prizes but are also going to include winners of the Turing Award, you should include anyone who won an Abel Prize for mathematics (if there are any), a Fields Medal for mathematics (if there are any), and a Noble Prize for Engineering (and there is definitely at least one, Claude Shannon in 1939, and if you leave out ALL Nobles, then you have to leave out Shannon's, and it's so important I don't think you want to do that). Maybe others. Does the IEEE give out awards?2603:7000:9906:A91C:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 21:17, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]
