[edit] David Reid Poetry Translation Prize

David Reid Poetry Translation Prize (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is apparently an award for translated poetry, but there is no assertion that this is a notable award. I haven't been able to find any references online, and the height of the award, 750 euros, doesn't seem to be all that spectacular. AecisBrievenbus 20:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep It's a new award & one of the few that deal with literary translation & the translation of poetry in particular. 750 Euros is perhaps one of the highest awards for poetry in translation: so it is quite spectacular-- remember, we're talking poetry -- The fact that the Foundation for the Creation and Translation of Dutch Literature (a Dutch and Belgian government institution) supports and cites the award is an indication of its merit from a Dutch literary perspective. So I would like to argue that we keep the article. That said: though I created the article, I am in no way connected with the award or its institution -- so I don't mind it being deleted if that is the general consnsus.

  • Delete - unable to find any reliable sources to establish notabilty. the fact that this is a recently created award lends it not having achieved notability. -- Whpq (talk) 18:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Only source I could find is the one listed as a reference for the article. It doesn't appear to be covered enough to pass WP:N. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 22:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per the above.   jj137 ♠ Talk 00:04, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There are so few awards for Poetry and translation, and my opinion is that €750 is not to be sneezed at in poetry circles Joandahl (talk) 16:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
  • But how does any of that relate to notability? There are no reliable sources that anybody has been able to produce to establish the notability. -- Whpq (talk) 20:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
