Alfred Thayer Mahan Award for Literary Achievement

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

fails WP:GNG. nothing in gnews. for it to be notable it needs greater third party coverage than military sources because that's all i could find. LibStar (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I am finding brief mentions of the award in various papers, but I'm not sure that these really count towards notability given how brief they are when it comes to the actual prize itself., I'm leaning towards creating a section in the Alfred Thayer Mahan article for the award, mentioning that the military has created an award named after him, and redirecting to that section. There would be no need for there to be a list of names, just a mention that the award is given yearly since the 50s and maybe a mention of one or two of the most notable names such as Tom Clancy.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:40, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Navy League of the United States who run/sponsor/organize the award. Keep list of winners in 3 column format, there are famous honorees in the list. Green Cardamom (talk) 02:28, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I've created the content in the Navy League of the United States article. If there are objections we can discuss over there on the talk page. If by chance someone finds sources to justify a keep of this article it can be undone. Green Cardamom (talk) 19:03, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
