Dornhorst Memorial Prize

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

College popularity award. The fact that it is given out by "the oldest college in Colombo" doesn't make the award notable. Notable award-winners were not notable at the time of receipt of the award. MSJapan (talk) 04:07, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Keep: The Prize is well documented in Sri Lankan media in terms of its origin  as well as many notables who gain it in their early life. Many such awards exist under the catagory Category:Student awards. NaminiGunasena (talk) 07:40, 17 June 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Reply: This is the same argument you made on Turnour Prize, with the same sources. That's not possible, because the same people don't get multiple awards. I'll reiterate WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. MSJapan (talk) 07:48, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - this is only a high school popularity award and there is no evidence of notability. Dan arndt (talk)
 * Redirect to Royal College, Colombo, which already mentions it -- and a mention at the school article is all that's necessary for this per WP:GNG. Also note that the school's article needs some serious work, too. That's a crazy list of awards with no WP:WEIGHT established. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 14:06, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
