Seems like a minor and not important award. Bbarmadillo (talk) 17:02, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

:: I would also be satisfied with this outcome. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 17:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Comment {{u|Paulmcdonald}}, {{u|BeanieFan11}}, {{u|Cbl62}}, and {{u|Frank Anchor}} to see if this would change anyone's vote, especially given that the article author bizarrely never linked Thorp to the award named after him. It also looks like they have been creating articles on random Long Island HS football players also but that's a whole other can of worms. GPL93 (talk) 15:52, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

:: Honestly, I don't think an award given to a high school athlete in a single county even warrants a redirect. IMO we really ought to be discouraging articles about local high school football awards. As the article is now, it has only one sentence about the award (saying next to nothing), and the balance of the article is a brief synopsis of Thorp's life. We get enough grief as it is from anti-sports editors, and we need to police these articles diligently. Cbl62 (talk) 17:51, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
