Travel grants etc don't establish notability -- there are plenty of non-notable people who get grants of that sort.

As to the British school of Rome, google shows no mention of Banahan on the BSR's website. I don;t know the significance of the other awards, but if they are as important as you say, why is there no substantive coverage of him, per WP:BIO? And why are these awards listed only on his own website? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

The Awards were taken from this link. Anyway, I don't care that much anymore, but there are plenty of less notable articles than he. -RiverHockey (talk) 15:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
