Hutchinson lecture

Non-notable topic. Cannot find significant coverage in sources independent of the topic. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  23:44, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment It might make more sense to cover an annual lecture series in an article on the person it was named for, or the society that hosts it. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 02:52, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * That could be reasonable but at present I don't see a related article that it could be merge/redirected to. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  03:10, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per currently available sourcing. Notability certainly not demonstrated in the article, and I can't find substantial further coverage either. Hutchinson himself seems to be a likely NPROF candidate, but in absence of that article as a merge target, this should probably be deleted. (As an aside, I am finding at least two other and unrelated "Hutchinson lectures" (in Economics and Pharmacy) that are longer-running and might have a better claim to the primary topic - disambiguation would be needed.) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:07, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I concur that Hutchinson himself is a likely candidate for passing WP:PROF, though soil mechanics and civil engineering aren't my field, and he was active just long enough ago that online material might be tricky to dig up. I'd encourage the creator of this page to start a draft biography of him at Draft:John N. Hutchinson; information about this lecture series could be included there, e.g., as part of a "Legacy" section. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:27, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete From looking over this it seems like an argument could made for John Hutchinson to have an article, but the Hutchinson lecture clearly isn't notable enough on it's own to warrant one. There's no reason it can't be mentioned in an article for John Hutchinson if one is ever created though. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
