The result was merge to Charles E. Bohlen. A new article on the award would be welcome, assuming someone can demonstrate it is notable. Courcelles 19:37, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• merge to Charles E. Bohlen or delete No indication of wp:notability. I'll handle the merge if desired. North8000 (talk) 01:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• comment This should be changed to Avis Bohlen Award, and that should be the focus of the article. While the person in question does not meet notability, the award itself is significant. The article should include basic information about the woman for whom the award is named. Bella the Ball (talk) 09:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment I think that your idea is better, even with the following practical challenge: Unless we get someone who is going to build the article, a quick change would be to a 2 stub with only one primary source on the topic. But, even with that issue, I still like your idea better. I'd also be willing to handle that morph/change. (just the basic change, not the "build") North8000 (talk) 11:31, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
