Women of Distinction Awards

The article, as written, seems to be about the local version of this award in Vancouver. seems to have written it as part of his Tara Teng universe of articles because she was apparently nominated for one. But it also mentions a Washington, DC version, not sure if this is national. Should any of this be merged into YWCA? I think it should just be deleted. Kelly hi! 22:07, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge. Agree this should be merged with YWCA. —cg6237 (talk) 22:23, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * 'Merge to YWCA. Kelly has nominated some real junk tonight. Legacypac (talk) 07:04, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep These awards have been presented for decades and a Gnews search reveals that are independently notable of the organization that grants them. See for example this McGill Reporter story, or this one from the other side of the country. I also wonder if those in favour of merging to YWCA have actually taken a look at the proposed merge target. We don't have an article on YWCA Canada, so this would have the effect of burying content on a notable award for Canadian women in the main article.

 * The Women of Distiction Awards are YWCA system wide it seems, but a random list of recipients in various places is pretty useless. Legacypac (talk) 10:43, 9 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge per the above. BMK (talk) 15:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment found an amazing 38 Redirects to this article from Women of Distinction Award to The Young Womens Christian Association Women of Distinction Awards.  all created together by  Perhaps delete them with the article. Legacypac (talk) 11:10, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * If this article gets deleted, the redirects may be deleted under WP:G8. sst✈discuss 09:04, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep  notable award.  When completed article will be too large to merge to YWCA and may even need to be split.  All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 01:25, 14 November 2015 (UTC).


 * Merge to YWCA: collection of locally-based awards, main references are to, as Legacypac notes, random recipients in various places. Not the worst of this lot but a one-sentence reference in the YWCA article would cover it just as well. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 01:54, 14 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Solution Women of Distinction TM is a program is a long time local branch YWCA Canada [] annual award and fundraiser that was adopted in the USA (national level) in 2012   I've improved the YWCA article   The Nom'd page should be DELETED as not the right name.  All the REDIRECTS should be DELETED as corruptions of a trademarked name except Women of Distinction which I have retargeted to YWCA. I used nothing from the target, so it is not a merger. There is no value in trying to build a list of recipients of a bunch of local awards - our guidelines specifically say something about winning a local award is not notable.  If one of the winners happens to be otherwise notable, then by all means add the WOD award to her BLP. Legacypac (talk) 03:26, 15 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand to be more about the awards program and maybe move the list elsewhere.  Montanabw (talk)  05:16, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Aside from the WP:IDONTLIKEIT arguments, this is a reasonable sub article for the YWCA and the award has easily enough merits on WP:SIGCOV alone. As for the merge, I haven't seen any real policy based arguments why it should be merged. Mkdw talk 19:24, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * No please read my comments. It's a thing in Canadian YCWA's, and once three years back in the USA. There was not even a country section in YWCA for Canada until I added it yesterday and no article about YWCA Canada, so why propose a daughter article. Please look at what I did in YWCA and reevaluate. Legacypac (talk) 23:34, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
