Daniel M. Laskin Award

Notability of this honour is not easily verifiable. A Google search turns up a bunch of press releases -- -- but no real news coverage. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:08, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the Journal giving out the award doesn't have an article, why should the Award attached to the journal have one? Notability is not established. D ARTH P ANDA duel 02:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Please consider the merit of the article on its own. The reason we don't have an article on the journal is probably because no one got to it yet. Very few academic journals are non-notable publications. - Mgm|(talk) 12:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Plainly non-notable award.  The best thing would be a redirect back to Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, but it's not there yet.  In any case, the title would be confusing, because strangely there's another Daniel M. Laskin Award, given by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, for different accomplishments.  --Lockley (talk) 16:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Those two groups (the journal and the association) sound strangely similar. Are we sure that they are not the same entity? D ARTH P ANDA duel 18:18, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect, The Association publishes the journal, see http://www.joms.org and http://www.aaoms.org/docs/awards/laskin.pdf, therefore I think this award and journal should both be redirected to American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
