"The Edelstam prize"

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails the general notability guidelines. No reliable sources for verification. (Author contested prod) OSbornarfcontribs. 20:19, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Title note I moved the page to Edelstam prize by accident, and then moved it to its current title, Edelstam Prize. OSbornarfcontribs. 17:43, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Edelstam is notable. This Prize ought to be notable, but I can't find anything much reference-wise. This puzzles me. I've not yet sorted out what the Swedish for 'prize' is in this context, but when I do, I'll check again on Swedish sources. Peridon (talk) 21:42, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Edelstampriset - it's there in the foundation's page that is linked to in the article. I don't see much: it looks as if it has yet to be awarded?? Yngvadottir (talk) 22:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I thought that was it, but there's so little available for it that I wondered... According to http://www.realtid.se/ArticlePages/200909/14/20090914085214_Realtid148/20090914085214_Realtid148.dbp.asp they were still talking about setting it up in 2009, and the article mentions no names for people receiving the award. edelstampriset.com contains no content. All in all, there's more in this article than I can find on Google. Both the references are to do with Edelstam personally, not the prize. If the author or anyone can come up with evidence that it's been awarded, it would help. Peridon (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment somebody should take a look at that page, it's main author is adding interwiki links (and even Persondata) which looks like they're for Edelstam himself, not the prize. I suppose those should be removed? OSbornarfcontribs. 21:56, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I've looked around for Edelstampris as well as Edelstampriset and other than the few and substantially similar 2009 mentions and the stuff on the foundation's own site, I can't find anything but a 3-line note on a page aggregating info about the Uruguayan Embassy in Stockholm and blog entries giving the same information, that all from October 2010. And a hit on Google Books for a non-previewable journal that is likely an indexing error. Nothing in reliable independent sources. So it just isn't notable - yet. The article can be recreated after it achieves notability, which will likely be after someone is honored with the prize. --Yngvadottir (talk) 08:11, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, mostly per Yngvadottir. A prize can't be notable until it's awarded. -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 20:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per my comments above and Yngvadottir. Nothing else found worth reporting. Peridon (talk) 10:55, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
