In light of the recent successful AfD for Pauline Barrett, I am nominating others who have received the same non-notability-establishing Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:28, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The single UK government source for this article (deleted for some reason in 2015) merely says that she was one of nearly 200 winners of the award that year. That's not enough, searching for matching information finds nothing relevant with any more detail, and with so little information there's no way to tell whether anyone else with a similar name who might have actually done something notable is really the same person. I'm not always against permastubs in general, but this one is no use. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:58, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless it can be proven that she moved from South Yorkshire to Ohio and started writing cozy mystery novels. XOR'easter (talk) 17:18, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will repeat what I said in the Pauline Barrett AfD: I don't see why the award would not qualify for WP:ANYBIO - it's a national award, not a local one, and there were 10 recipients of that award each year, in a population of about 60 million overall. Assuming that about 3/4 of the population were aged 20+, the award was given to 10 in 45,000,000 people, or 2.22%, which is surely notable. (David Eppstein, where do you find 200 winners in one year? The WP article about the award lists a total of 110 from 2005-2015.) Apart from that award, I will look for sources on this subject, and come back to !vote.

- @RebeccaGreen: I believe it's this source which was linked from this list of press books which was linked from the UK government source originally in this article. There were 194 recipients in 2009. — MarkH21 (talk) 18:03, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Not convinced that the Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion is a "well-known and significant award or honor" per WP:ANYBIO. No evidence of passing WP:GNG or other notability guidelines either. — MarkH21 (talk) 18:07, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
