fails WP:GNG. unreferenced for 4.5 years. 2 gnews hits. very small mentions in university websites LibStar (talk) 05:42, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I should note that Google News archives provided additional results, but they appear to insufficient and require payment. Google Books also found one mention here (scroll to the bottom of that page). I should also note that the content "Applicants must have been born in the state of California but need not be current residents. The unpublished work-in-progress submitted may be fiction (novel or short stories), nonfictional" appears to have been copy and pasted from this book (Foundation Grants to Individuals, seventh result from the top).

 * Merge/Redirect to San Francisco Foundation. Merge is already complete, along with Joseph Henry Jackson Award and Mary Tanenbaum Award for Nonfiction. Not enough sources to support these awards on their own, but the SFF as a whole has enough. Opened discussion at Talk:San Francisco Foundation if there is contention later. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 23:50, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to San Francisco Foundation as per Green Cardamom, and I agree with the merge of the other two awards. I have also put a sentence about the awards into the article about their namesake and founder, James D. Phelan. (The fact that he was the founder and namesake was omitted from this article, but I found the information here. --MelanieN (talk) 19:45, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
