Notes

↑ By their very nature, awards can be subjective — in that they represent a very specific point of view — the point of view of the individual or organization which determines who wins the award and why. To counter this, a good practice is to limit the listing of awards to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia. This is not due to WP:N (which is not a content requirement), but rather, to ensure WP:NPOV. The adding of several points of view to an article in the form of awards mentioned may skew the article's balance.^[1] Thus, my own practice is to limit the listing of awards to only those which are independently notable in Wikipedia.
↑ By this same logic, the awarding of the MacArthur Fellowship (which has its own Wikipedia page) was approved and added to the article.

Thanks for opening the discussion. Unfortunately none of the cited secondary sources mention the subject of this entry, so it’s original research and undue for inclusion. There just aren’t sources showing this is significant to an encyclopedic biography of this person. Innisfree987 (talk) 07:02, 21 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
