 * Delete. One out of 141 annual scholars does not meet the guidelines for WP:ACADEMIC. Insufficient notability at present. WWGB (talk) 05:21, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What about being named "2007 Miss Teen San Francisco"? Deltawk (talk) 05:23, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That depends on whether it is considered a "notable award or honor" per WP:ANYBIO. The contest/award does not have a Wikipedia article, which suggests that it may not be notable. WWGB (talk) 05:37, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, while this award is a great achievement for someone of that age, opening the door for biogs of ~140 school leavers per year has the potential of ruining the lives of at least a few of them. Unless they have other significant awards or achievements, the recipients can be listed on pages like "List of 2008 Presidential Scholars". John Vandenberg (chat) 22:38, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. While in principle I agree entirely with John Vandenberg, the cat is out of the bag on this; there's an official Presidential Scholars site, which appears to be opt-in for the honorees . The award/honor itself is clearly notable. And there does seem to be a very rate of honorees accumulating other forms of notability. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:17, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WWGB. I don't see any indication that being a Presidential Scholar means that someone will meet the general notability guideline. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:06, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete We have never considered such school honors significant in themselves for notability--at a much higher level, we don't even consider the Rhodes Scholars as necessarily notable, though of course a good number of them do become so in their later career.

 * Delete Agree that it does not meet WP:GNG. Richard  ( talk ) 23:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
