Status
What is the status of this award? Is it officially discontinued? The Jade Knight (talk) 09:25, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe it was last given out in 2003, but if you can find any other WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources on that, it would be most appreciated. Cirt (talk) 18:17, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Notability?
Can someone explain exactly what makes this award notable outside the walled garden of anti-Scientology activism? I did a Google Books search and found mostly printed Wikipedia mirrors; there was only one legitimate hit, James R. Lewis's Scientology from Oxford University Press &mdash; but this is nothing but a passing mention. A search in the Google News archives shows only one hit &mdash; a single-paragraph CNET article from 2003. There are no hits on JSTOR. A basic Google search turns up lots of matches, but none appear to be from reliable sources. Why should this article not be deleted on grounds of non-notability? *** Crotalus *** 16:05, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The subject is notable, it satisfies WP:NOTE, it has received significant coverage from multiple different WP:RS secondary sources. Just because these sources take the form of articles and not 100% "books" does not mean they should all be ignored. -- Cirt (talk) 19:44, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Aside from the short blurb in CNET, are any of these sources in English? What was the extent of coverage; were these lengthy, in-depth articles or just filler? Is there any way for a non-German speaker to confirm (this is, after all, the English Wikipedia)? *** Crotalus *** 19:49, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you saying sources in any other language other than English should not be used on Wikipedia? -- Cirt (talk) 19:56, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * No. But I do find it problematic when we rely exclusively on non-English sources, especially when there don't seem to be any non-trivial reliable sources in English. *** Crotalus *** 21:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Respectfully disagree. This is the English language Wikipedia, not the Wikipedia about only English subjects. -- Cirt (talk) 21:26, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Defunct and obscure award given to anti-Scientology activists... where's the beef, or bacon if you prefer?  &rarr;  Stani Stani  05:46, 23 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't realize that Wikipedia notability criteria included "never becoming defunct". As for concerns about the citation...it is a German award, I would expect most citations to be written in German.Coffeepusher (talk) 06:26, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
