Distinguished German-American of the Year

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Would think an award which provides "national recognition" might have a bit more exposure than a few trivial mentions on the search engines. Not a single in-depth article about this award on any of them.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment - I'd suggest merge to German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA but I'm not clear if that is notable or not itself, as the only sources on that page are primary. If it is, then a merge would probably be the easiest outcome. FuriouslySerene (talk) 15:19, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - merge would be OK, but it's clearly promotional. No press coverage; only one article and it's based on a press release. —Мандичка YO 😜 12:40, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete and redirect. Considering the above comments, I took the liberty to add a list of "notable" awardees to the main article German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA. The award has been mentioned in several bios by uninvolved editors, so it seems to be a relevant award - although probably not notable enough for a stand-alone article.
