Award of Distinction

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The references are too slight for WP:GNG. A list of recipients of the award is not the same as coverage about it. There does not appear to be a single independent source discussing the importance of the award. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:29, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, or at worst, merge and redirect to The Furniture Society. Yes, the referencing is thin, but it appears to be a major award in the field.  Fine Woodworking describes it "one of furniture-making’s highest honors", Woodworking Network says it is "coveted". SpinningSpark 17:43, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Furniture Society. Sourcing is a bit thin, but this isn't a vanity award that just about anyone can win who's willing to pay. Its recipients are significant in their field. Vexations (talk) 11:48, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added several sources to this page to add to to its verifiability and notability. Several articles are in their entirety dedicated to announcing the receipients of the award that year and are from third party sources such as this article from Woodshop News. However, I do also think this article needs more sources covering the award itself and I would support redirecting this article to The Furniture Society as another option.

 * As another option - could we re-name the page to differentiate it from other awards of the same name? Terasaface (talk) 16:13, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
