I previously nominated this article for deletion last year as a non-independently-notable, non-recurring prize that the recipient Lien Chan implicitly disavowed. It was kept after fairly vigorous discussion. Part of the "keep" arguments last year was that it was not known at the time that the prize would survive for a second year — and since then, it appears that the prize has been cancelled this year and, while there is talk of reviving it for 2012, I really doubt that it would actually happen. All of the arguably notable aspects of the prize are already included in the other articles involved (Liu Xiaobo and 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, mostly). I am suggesting a Delete again at this point (although I must admit not feeling as strongly about it now as I did last year, but I'd still like a rediscussion in light of developments).

 * Keep. Notable farce. See this New York Times article about the intrigue surrounding the attempt to give the award again in 2011. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:38, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - The link provided directly above demonstrates WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE in my eyes. Metropolitan90's description of subject as a "Notable farce" is very apt. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 08:18, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I would argue that it should be kept because it meets both WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE and Diversity of sources inclusion criteria.--Discott (talk) 13:56, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
