Proposed redirect[edit]

The dead urls in the current version have at least this archive for one of the two URLs. However, there's no sign that the medal itself is the main name of the "competition" itself. It rather seems that a silver version of the medal is given for the Kalinga Prize, e.g. UN 2012, (archive). Maybe bronze and gold versions are given for some of the other UNESCO prizes.

Independently, the text of this article is mostly a minor effort in paraphrasing unesco.org/.../albert-einstein-1879-1955-1979, making it rather likely to be a copyright violation. There's no particular support from independent WP:RS that the details of the medal are particular significant.

So I propose making this page into a redirect. I don't think it's worth describing the effect as a merger, although a brief summary of any notable properties of the medal might possibly be used in Kalinga Prize. Boud (talk) 16:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've done the redirect anyway. If someone can find some solid non-WP:SELFSOURCE reliable sources about the medal, as opposed to the prize(s?) it's given for, then re-establishing this as a standalone article, without paraphrasing, might be justifiable.
