There was a link on the talkpage of the article for the award suggesting this was a "test case" for the notability of recipients of the award. That strikes me as an inherently bad idea. The purpose of the award is to confer national recognition on people whose work promoting enterprise in the regional economy is deemed significant. Such work does not universally meet the standards of notability applied here, and if the award is the only national recognition that it gets then it falls under the guideline . However, although each article on a recipient has to be assessed on its own merits, on the basis of the sources available, I would consider the award to create an initial presumption in favour of notability. Over the past year or so I have seen a series of AfDs brought specifically against articles on recipients of the Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion, regardless of how well sourced they were, as though the award conveyed a sort of anti-notability. That really has to stop
