Silver Knight Awards

 * – ( View AfD View log )

You'll find Google Book hits for this term--but not all of them are for this one, and I am not convinced that the mere mention of someone having won this makes it notable. One finds phrases like "awarded to fourteen students in Miami-Dade county annually", but no significant discussion of its origin and meaning. Drmies (talk) 04:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm not sure yet on this, maybe a merge to The Miami Herald article. I am familiar with the award, although that doesn't make it notable. I will say that The Miami Herald mentions that 18,000 students (I presume that includes runners-up) have been honored with this award. A back of the envelope calculation gives well over 1,000 recipients of the Silver Knight itself, so the list of recipients really needs to go, even if the article stays. I see five or so people with WP articles that mention them receiving this award. In the end, though, it will take substantial coverage in reliable sources other than The Miami Herald to establish notability for the article. -- Donald Albury 00:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to The Miami Herald. This is a close call, as many people have been named as having received this award in reliable sources; it is also likely to be well-known locally, as it has received a lot of coverage by its sponsor, The Miami Herald (although we obviously cannot use this coverage to judge notability). I also found a third-party mention of the award here, although it is only brief. Having said this, I agree with Drmies on the most important point - the award itself does not seem to have received the level of coverage from third-party reliable sources that we usually require of an article. I think cutting the list of recipients and merging to The Miami Herald would be the best course of action here. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 01:16, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
