Tom Thorp Award

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Seems like a minor and not important award. Bbarmadillo (talk) 17:02, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NHSPHSATH. This is an award presented the best high school football player in one particular county. Cbl62 (talk) 18:35, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Newsday: suitable alternative to deletion. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 18:47, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per logic at WP:IMPACT among other issues.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:21, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Newsday per User:Etzedek24. Semi-notable topic, particularly considering Ohrnberger and Ferguson as notable recipients of the award, but certainly does not need its own page.  Frank  Anchor  16:01, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, minor regional award. Doesn't appear to pass GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:10, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect and Merge any relevant information to Tom Thorp given that it is named in his honor and would fit into that article more than the Newsday article. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:00, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I would also be satisfied with this outcome. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 17:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment, , , and to see if this would change anyone's vote, especially given that the article author bizarrely never linked Thorp to the award named after him. It also looks like they have been creating articles on random Long Island HS football players also but that's a whole other can of worms. GPL93 (talk) 15:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I don't think an award given to a high school athlete in a single county even warrants a redirect. IMO we really ought to be discouraging articles about local high school football awards. As the article is now, it has only one sentence about the award (saying next to nothing), and the balance of the article is a brief synopsis of Thorp's life. We get enough grief as it is from anti-sports editors, and we need to police these articles diligently. Cbl62 (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
