Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adam Award
I was able to find brief mentions of this award here and there, but it's almost solely a trivial mention in articles about award winners who went on to gain coverage for other awards or accomplishments. In other words, there isn't anything out there that focuses on the award itself. These sort of passing mentions are pretty routine, as most newspapers will list almost anything that a person has been awarded, be it a college award or a Bronze Swimming Certificate. Yes, some of the people have gone on to accomplish great things, but notability for later accomplishments does not translate into notability for this specific award, as notability is  by later accomplishments or by the college itself being notable. As for the amount of hits on the article, that doesn't count towards notability either. It means that people may have found it useful, but being |useful does not count towards notability either. (Also, it could be that the large amount of hits were just from people coming in from AfD or from people who came to the page by mistake, so we can't guarantee that they came in there specifically to read about that award.) This could maybe be merged into the main article for the college, but I can't really find enough coverage to merit that either and it would potentially put undue weight upon an award given to a very specific group of students in a specific degree program and not students from the college as a whole
