Michael Brin Prize in Dynamical Systems

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication that the award itself satisfies WP:GNG. Based on the references given and my own search for additional sources, the only coverage appears to be listings of who won the award in a single journal. There appears to be no in-depth coverage of the award itself. Nick&#8288;—&#8288;Contact/Contribs 00:16, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. Somewhat more coverage turns up using the shorter search string "Brin Prize", visible in the "Find sources" links above.  This includes assorted papers reviewing the works of the various award winners.  Whether that's enough to keep the article remains for discussion. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:48, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. At this point we have plenty of sourcing (more than usual for a mathematical award) in the form of what looks like an entire special issue of a journal (or at least several articles in a single issue) written by other mathematicians and celebrating the mathematical accomplishments that led to the selection of each prizewinner. I don't see any merit in the nominator's attempts to view this coverage as being not about the award itself. I also find it suggestive that Avila's prize was followed in such quick succession by the Fields Medal and that the Guardian article about the 2014 Fields Medal winners found the Brin Prize to be significant enough to list among Avila's past honors. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:05, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Since I didn't formally !vote above and since there hasn't been input from others, I'll state explicitly here that I agree with David Eppstein that the case for notability has been made sufficiently to warrant retaining this article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:54, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
