Turnour Prize

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NN academic award. Notable recipients were not notable at the time of reception, and 3/4 of the list is NN people without WP articles, making it a somewhat indiscriminate list. Does not inherit notability by being given out by a school. MSJapan (talk) 04:11, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Keep: The Prize is well documented in Sri Lankan media in terms of its origin  as well as many notables who gain it in their early life. Many such awards exist under the catagory Category:Student awards. NaminiGunasena (talk) 07:33, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Reply - So it gets routine news coverage - WP:NOTNEWS. Notable people got it before they were notable - WP:NOTINHERITED.  Many such awards exist - WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.  What's important is why this award is notable on its own, and I'm not seeing it.  Everything you're posting is WP:V of existence, and that's not disputed. MSJapan (talk) 07:45, 17 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - WP:SCHOOLCRUFT. This is a school prize whereas other entries in Category:Student awards are awards by higher education institutions or national awards.-- obi2canibe talk contr 10:34, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
