[edit] Andrew Lowey

I'm not convinced that the award he has received is sufficiently important to be noteworthy - just about every research area has awards somewhere or other, so winning an award that possibly nobody outside the industry will have heard of isn't a conclusive claim to notability to me. Searching "Pharmaceutical Care Awards" only gets 200 odd hits, which suggests to me the winners aren't exactly gaining wider fame. Average Earthman 18:03, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Isn't there a rule "Wikipedia is not for employee-of-the-month"? Maybe there should be. Not-notable. Bucketsofg 19:33, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete This could probably have gone on WP:PROD -- pm_shef 20:08, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm aware of WP:PROD, but didn't feel this was sufficiently clear for that - while I don't feel the award he has won is particularly notable, he has genuinely won it for his professional work. Average Earthman 13:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Now running a professionally recognized clinical program in diabetes control may not stand alongside the notable achievements of Air Force Amy, but I think there's a pretty good case for taking note of it. [1] Monicasdude 21:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I avoid discussions of porn stars on the grounds that I'm a complete prude who'd like to delete them all. Average Earthman 13:26, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
• delete not notable. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 21:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. While I agree with Monicasdude that I would probably rather polish test tubes with Amy down at the ranch, Mr. Lowey did win that award as shown by that picture. -- JJay 21:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - as per Buckets. Wickethewok 09:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, but Monicasdude's porn star analogy is erroneous: just because we have too many porn stars doesn't mean we should have too much of everything. Mangojuice 19:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, although this article does need a lot more research than what is available on the web. What limited research I could find I've added, and also emailed the hospital to see if I can get more. I'm a bit new to the wiki process, so forgive me if I'm clueless. Has anyone contacted the author of this article to ask him for more info?-Freedomelf 19:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Just a note - as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter one jot how huge his employers are, notability is not a trickle down effect. The only thing that matters is whether the award he has won (as part of a group) is a genuinely notable one, or just one of a multitude of similar awards. Average Earthman 19:36, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
