The result was speedy keep. Withdrawing and closing as nominator. My WP:BEFORE was not WP:BEFORE enough, apparently. My bad. (non-admin closure) WhinyTheYounger (WtY) (talk, contribs)  01:26, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Alice Hunt Bartlett Prize

Fails WP:GNG. WP:BEFORE reveals no substantive discussion of the award. Prize does not inherit notability from being awarded to notable people. WhinyTheYounger (WtY) (talk, contribs)  04:08, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep A respectable award, named after a notable person, awarded to notable people by a notable society. Not seeing the problem. Andrew🐉(talk) 16:33, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep First off, if you're looking for sources look for the Alice Hunt Bartlett Award as well as Prize, as both terms are used. It is listed as an award in The National Directory of Grants and Aid to Individuals in the Arts, International and is mentioned in tons of literary directories from the period it was awarded. Listed here in the 1985 Book Publishing Annual. It's mentioned as an award for everyone who's won it in the Who's Who books of poets, it's mentioned in Library of Congress Information Bulletins . It's even in an issue of the Statesman from 1968. To me this is an example of an enormous amount of mentions establishing notability. All of these sources wouldn't be noting that someone won the award, or that the award was getting ready to be announced, or an author mentioning the award without the award being notable.
