Talk:Edwin H. Land Medal

Comment
Hi Folks,

I find it odd that this article is marked for deletion. It does not meet the criteria stated! "FIRST", it is becoming very well-sourced from independent outlets. PHYSICS TODAY is completely dissociated with the OSA or the Medal. So is SMITHSONIAN. The article is a day old. I am sure that many many more sources will be added. Typically medals are the highest honors a scientific society offers. Please note that Land Medal honorees have previously been honored by the Nobel Prize; the National Medical of Science, Primetime Emmy Award; and many others. Point being that this is an extremely luminous group. "SECOND" it is certainly notable. What index is being used? Why are half of OSA medals allowed Wikipedia pages, but this one, a Medal, is not? Wikipedia is loaded with pages for hundreds of others like awards, many less "notable." "THIRD" the article is simple, factual, and neutral. It describes Edwin Land, who was the original Steve Jobs. It lists the winners. It gives sources. Thanks! 136.49.47.230 (talk) 21:23, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
