Francis Stephen Award

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have looked for sources about this prize in German, French and English but have not been able to find anything to indicate that it has received substantial, independent coverage in multiple sources as requried to meet the general notability guideline. If the awarding organisation were notable, I'd suggest redirecting, but it does not appear to be either. SmartSE (talk) 16:38, 10 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Thank you for this discussion. I created this page because it is a well-known award among historians specializing in Enlightenment and the 18th century. This is the only award to honour Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor. I am a student and we have a poster of this award in the university library. Its internet coverage is indeed not very important but many English, German and French books and magazines speak about it. Vadius14 (talk) 10:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Several history and literature reviews speak of this award (Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Gesellschaft, German history, European review). It is known in European academic circles. Jolkano (talk) 10:15, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Editors arguing that this is notable need to provide evidence of that notability, such as reliable sources discussing this subject in detail.
 * Keep I do see the significance of the award and it being mentioned in links such as this and this. The article is not written as per WP:MoS but that can be takns care of. There are winners for it so is defintely notable. Brenthaven (talk) 16:50, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
