Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award
Note that I said ''Google News'' not Google, a search on the standard google search engine brings back 6040. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=IEX&q=PEN+Oakland+Josephine+Miles+Literary+Award&btnG=Search, I did not bring this up since I do not believe that ghits, i.e. ''standard google search engine'' is a method to determine notability.  Google News is slightly different as the majority of these are much more reliable than standard google hits.  These two articles http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-3985672.html,http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SJ&s_site=mercurynews&p_multi=SJ&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB721D92CE9CA22&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM, would appear to be about the award but are subscription.  In addition this award is mentioned in over 300 books on google books http://books.google.com/books?q=pen+oakland+josephine+miles+literary+award&lr=&sa=N&start=0.  This level of referencing along with all of the google news sources allow the subject to pass
