Pearl Buck Award

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Award seems to not exist anymore. Can't find any recent news stories. It is a short article and unsourced. Either it should be deleted or merged to Pearl S. Buck. Can't find the foundation page either. Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 04:46, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge or delete - Not notable. Acnetj (talk) 07:25, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. I looked pretty hard for both the award and for the "Sino-American Foundation for the Advancement of Hermeneutical Studies" and found nothing at all. The article was created by an editor for whom a total of 4 contributions are visible (but whose talk page suggests that there may be some WP:REVDEL pages also - It seems that they also created an article for the foundation that was CSD#A7'd in 2007.)  I wonder if this was a hoax? Fiachra10003 (talk) 15:37, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete What Fiachra said. At best, it's been unsourced for more than a decade and there's no real reason to believe old print sources will suddenly turn up to verify the award or the org; should someone later emerge who possesses them, that person can start a new entry. At worst has spotted a hoax that lasted 11 years and deserves a barnstar for it. Innisfree987 (talk) 05:23, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't seem to find much of a mention or coverage, beyond a different Pearl Buck award; can't even verify its existence, current or former. ~ Amory  (u • t • c) 21:21, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
