Unremarkable prize. No assertion of notability, merely a set of references that show it exists. Biker Biker (talk) 22:14, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Biker Biker. I'm a computer scientist (not one of the winners nor one of the organizers of the award) and I believe this is one of the most prestigious prizes for a PhD thesis around the topics of Logic and formal Languages. At least in Europe. If you think this is not the case, please feel free to remove this page. Best wishes. Garetjax3891 (talk) 11:48, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Well over a decade's track record, large Google footprint, and substantial published coverage, including this in Dependency Structures and Lexicalized Grammars: An Algebraic Approach, edited by Marco Kuhlmann, make this a GNG pass. Carrite (talk) 00:35, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - That source isn't independent: it is the book form of a dissertation that won this award, published as part of a series created by the organization that awarded it. I'm not sure what role Springer has in the publication; it may only be printing the books. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - As far as I can tell, the large Google footprint is from sites maintained by the Association for Logic, Language and Information, its European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information or calls for submissions (which are basically ads).

Comment - the only recipient who is the subject of a Wikipedia article is Nir Friedman. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:10, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Evert Willem Beth. I would have recommended redirecting it to Association for Logic, Language and Information, but there are no independent sources for that article either (or for its products, European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information or Journal of Logic, Language and Information) so who knows how long that article will remain? For that matter, Evert Willem Beth has no references, so a mention of this prize with a link to the FoLLI website would be a first step to establishing his notability.
