B.N. Duke Scholars program

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Given that there seems to be a consensus for deletion at this AFD, I also found this page, which covers a specific scholarship program. I am also concerned about its coverage, since the current page doesn't list any third party sources, and I wasn't able to find anything especially convincing about it. The most I found was some people having been described as winners of it getting some other scholarship, or brief bits about the endowment receiving more money. It might be acceptable to mention this on The Duke Endowment page, but is this any different from any of the hundreds of other scholarships that are found around the world? Some universities might have hundreds of scholarships like this. FrozenPurpleCube 02:28, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete I went through all 310 ghits, a few cvs of the winers, and WP mirrors, and a great many pages from Duke.  Every well-established university has many dozens of named and endowed scholarship programs, almost known of which will be notable. We're not a PR agency for Duke.DGG (talk) 23:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Like all things related to a university, notability needs to extend beyond the campus. There is no evidence of this here. Nuttah68 12:59, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
