Marfield Prize

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The few hits on this minor award are all either press releases or trivial mentions. Does not have enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to show it passes WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:13, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

 * comment perhaps you missed this and this? Queen-washington (talk) 17:47, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * comment - nope, saw them both. The second is simply a press release put out by the organization. And the first is little better. Artnet doesn't publish their editorial guidelines, so whether or not they are a reliable source is also debatable.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:14, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep The Prize itself has not attracted articles in the national mass media. That's not surprising: the Prize addresses a specialized community of readers of art criticism and history. There are numerous articles noting it in specialized magazines such as Artforum, Scene4, and pif Magazine. The prize itself is sufficiently respected that it is very widely noted in the references to the authors and works that have received it, including the national media (Washington Post, Huffington Post, Publishers Weekly), respected presses (Princeton), university lectures, etc.. There are 2000 such hits on Google to sort through. My opinion is that the notability of the Marfield Prize is more than adequate for inclusion in Wikipedia. With that said, the present article is still a list, not an article, and doesn't begin to address the notability of its subject. So I think a reasonable path here is to tag the article to indicate that the notability of the subject is not established. It was probably unwise for the list to be broken out of the Arts Club article, where it was sitting happily for some time. However, deletion of the article on the grounds that its subject is not notable is also (in my opinion) unwise. Easchiff (talk) 09:15, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, it is an unwise spin out from Arts Club of Washington, the information is already there in history, so there is nothing to merge. Szzuk (talk) 20:29, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge it back. Szzuk (talk) 09:07, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Arts Club of Washington, which presently lacks this content in the article itself. North America1000 02:17, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Happy if it's merged back, and Marfield Prize returns to being a redirect. Easchiff (talk) 01:00, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
