The Ryde Gold Medal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Even after making full allowance for WP:Systemic bias, this unreferenced content has no place in Wikipedia. The medal is obviously important to boys at Trinity College, Kandy, but at a world level is entirely non-notable. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:05, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge relevant information to Trinity College, Kandy. I wouldn't put the list of winners on that page, but I think a mention is at least appropriate. PaintedCarpet (talk) 15:37, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete While in general I agree with PaintedCarpet above, the medal is of at best only local significance, and no redirect is necessary, any article which might chose to mention that their boy won this medal, would already have linked to Trinity College, Kandy. I do agree that a one-liner there can adequately mention the award. --Bejnar (talk) 02:25, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The article has been around since March 2006 and lacks any independent source. --Bejnar (talk) 02:27, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
