Windham–Campbell Literature Prizes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

these awards haven't even been held yet. so it's WP:CRYSTAL to assume future notability. only found 1 gnews hit. LibStar (talk) 01:59, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep It's not CRYSTAL because three reliable sources already cover the award. The 7-9 categories combined are worth more than the Nobel Prize Literary Award, the richest literary prize in the world. Normally prize amount is not a factor, but certain awards are rarefied, it would be strange to ignore that aspect when considering the notability of this award. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 04:57, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 3 sources doesn't make it necessarily notable. i can find 10 sources on my local school award and it doesn't make it notable. size of prize does not make it notable, significant third party coverage and actual existence does. LibStar (talk) 05:03, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The award exists, it was legally established a year or more before the first award is announced because it takes a while for books to be submitted and judged, the first award will be March 2013 for books published in 2012. Two of the three sources are particularly strong, the New York Times and LA Times, they are lengthy articles in two of the top newspapers in the United States - the number of sources is important, but so is the strength of the notability of the sources. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:25, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

The award has not occured. this is like creating an article for 2014 NFL player of the year. LibStar (talk) 05:28, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * More like the 85th Academy Awards scheduled for February 2013. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:46, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * yep and that Award has existed for decades this is not the 85th Windham–Campbell Literature Prize . LibStar (talk) 05:51, 13 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep Note that while particular prizes have not yet been awarded, the institution/mechanism of the Windham–Campbell Literature Prize already exists. The article is about the prize, not the prize winners. The New York Times and LA Times references discuss the prize itself, not any particular prize winners. This article has multiple reliable sources and I believe passes the notability threshold. Mark viking (talk) 05:56, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Green Cardamom; passes WP:GNG, no WP:CRYSTAL issue presented by this article which discusses the establishment and funding of the awards. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
