Chen Award

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Scientific award in genomics. No readily apparent notability (WP:GNG). A Google search yields the occasional mention and such things as press releases of universities congratulating themselves on winning it. I'd suggest a merger to Human Genome Organisation, which awards it, but that article's notability also appears questionable.

Searching for sources is also complicated by the existence of the Peter P. Chen Award, an award in computer science, but confusingly this article asserts that this (genomics) award is also called the "Peter P. Chen Award".  Sandstein  10:49, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Keep I made the page for the Peter P. Chen Award right before making the page for the Chen Award and accidentally forgot to drop the "Peter P." from the intro when I was writing the second page; that's my fault and it has been corrected. If groups like RIKEN, EurekaAlert!, and Academia Sinica are publicizing the award results, then they believe the scientific world will be interested in this. ₪Rick n Asia₪ 13:19, 2 March 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete I must agree with the nomination that the sourcing is unconvincing and either not sufficiently independent or not sufficiently significant. That some institutions release PR about their professors winning the award does not confer notability. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:02, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
