Yentsch-Schindler Award

 * – ( View AfD View log )

no evidence for award being notable. It's an early carer award, and it would be unlkely most of the people it is awarded to would be yet notable. There are no 3rd party refs that are not mere notices of the award being given, almost all from the news or pr sites of the university invovled.  DGG ( talk ) 16:36, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I'd originally commented on the talk page being unsure if it's notable or not, but looking again now I'm fairly convinced it's not, as per the nom. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:01, 22 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Is it appropriate to ask questions during these discussions? I went to the links on the right of this page ('new to AfD') and read all three documents. If the documents say anything about asking questions, I missed it. I hope it's OK, so I am going to move forward with my question. Full disclosure, I created this page, but I am also quite new to Wikipedia. There are a couple of early career awards on Wikipedia (with some listed at List of early career awards). In the sciences section, some of the awards listed have zero citations (e.g., Francqui Prize) while others have the bare minimum of sources (e.g., Otto Hahn Medal). Have those awards been on Wikipedia long enough that they were established under older guidelines that are no longer in use? Or, have I missed something else of note? Any input would be appreciated.

 * Asking questions is fine, and indeed encouraged. Wikipedia's standards for what can be kept and what ought to be deleted have grown Byzantine over the years, in response to the real complexity of building an encyclopedia that covers such a wide variety of topics. Sometimes, one page gets nominated for deletion while another doesn't, simply because the former page got noticed and the latter didn't. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 00:41, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You might be interested to take a look at WP:ATADD (in particular WP:WHATABOUT), and WP:OTHER. Hope that helps. Though to be fair I've definitely used arguments that that essay (it's not policy) says to avoid before. :) -Kj cheetham (talk) 07:55, 23 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete The information from was helpful, I definitely fell into the WP:WHATABOUT category! The award does not meet notability. The other piece that I missed is from WP:LISTPEOPLE which is that the people who are receiving this award may not meet the notability requirements at WP:PROF. However, as time passes, the older names on the list are quite likely to become notable (as is already the case for the people who won the award in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018; not all of whom have pages yet). Thanks also to  for answering my questions. DaffodilOcean (talk) 10:58, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
