- Keep. It seem verifiable given that there is a primary source for the data, which is the award web page. It is not original research. It does not advertise, merely informing. In fact, it was built on a template for another science award. It is not a hoax. Notability is not a criterion since it is not a biography, not about music, not about musicians, not about a company or corporation, not a fictional topic, and not about web-specific content. Therefore, it does NOT meet the criteria for deletion and should NOT be deleted. It seems there is some sort of voting; unfortunately none of the links supplied describe how to do that. But I clearly vote to keep it. I don't see how it could rightfully be deleted given the stated criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ADP85xzVcQD ( talk • contribs) 12:37, 18 June 2019 (UTC) ADP85xzVcQD ( talk) 12:42, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. My signed text was edited by someone else. That editing actually eliminated most of the argument and the structure for the argument and support for the argument--which was based off the criteria for deletion Wikipedia page. While I'm sure it was done in good faith, it is poor form (e.g. one would not open a letter someone wrote addressed to someone else, change it, and put it back in the envelope; likewise, one would not edit an e-mail they were forwarding without disclosing that). I respectfully request that someone revert it. I know how to, and I know I can, revert it myself. But every time I revert I get threatened by an editor that they will delete my account; so I don't feel comfortable doing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ADP85xzVcQD ( talk • contribs) 15:33, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- delete Secondary coverage is needed. Andy Dingley ( talk) 15:28, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete "it exists" is not a criteria for inclusion on an encyclopedia. There is no independent, in-depth coverage. Praxidicae ( talk) 15:53, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete, but see my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Research Parasite Award, FWIW, "research parasite" is a potential article Amkilpatrick ( talk) 16:23, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Primary coverage is not enough to proof notability. -- MrClog ( talk) 20:29, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:GNG since it lacks secondary sources. Was also recently created by a now discredited and indefed editor. Newshunter12 ( talk) 07:43, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
