It is unclear why this subject is notable except that it is an award and has been given to people. Not all awards are notable. UnrepentantTaco (talk) 20:44, 15 June 2013 (UTC) [Edit reverted as per WP:BE and. Unscintillating (talk) 19:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)]

 * Keep. Highly distinguished recipients. I find this nomination to be close to vandalism. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:57, 15 June 2013 (UTC).
 * Comment Just because someone is notable, that doesn't mean everything they've touched is notable. But hey, way to follow WP:FAITH. UnrepentantTaco (talk) 00:00, 16 June 2013 (UTC)  [Edit reverted as per WP:BE and .  Unscintillating (talk) 19:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)]


 * Speedy Keep - An obviously notable award. Nom took this Straight to AfD without a PROD. One of several disruptive AfDs by the same nominator. Dolovis (talk) 02:32, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep appears to be a worthy award with mention in this encyclopedia.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:26, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I created the stub, so keep. Even though there doesn't seem to be much to say about this award (or at least nobody has said it in the article), I think it is useful to have the article to disambiguate from the similarly-named Oersted Medal. It is relevant for bio articles about the laureates to say that they received it, and if we don't have something to bluelink to there, eventually someone's going to link them to the other medal in a (failed) attempt to be helpful. –Henning Makholm (talk) 16:59, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
