I've listed this article for peer review because I want to improve it to Featured List status, if it is eligible.

~~Each of the winners of the Nordic Council's Literature Prize need to have referenced to prove that they have won the prize. Look at List of Nobel laureates in Literature.~~

Added fact tags to the article. ~~Personally I think all winners need to be referenced but if you can't find any, then fair enough.~~

Winners are referenced. Extremepro (talk) 00:25, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The committee members section could be written in prose.

I suppose, but I'm not sure I like the idea. It is basically just a list of people. I can't think of a way to write that without it being awkward.

The article needs to be expanded to even reach B-class.

~~See if any of the works of the winners have a corresponding English article. If not, then translate the titles into to English if you can.~~

I am not quite sure I follow. If a winner does not have an English article, I should translate the title to English? decltype (talk) 01:07, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Leave the titles untranslated. On a 1024 x 768 screen resolution, the table looks cramped enough. If the translated title column was added, the pictures next to the table would be pushed down for some users. Extremepro (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Things that still need to be referenced:

Established in 1962, the prize is awarded every year, and is worth 350,000 Danish kroner
Timo Hämäläinen is a committee member
Bergur Djurhuus Hansen is a committee member Extremepro (talk) 00:25, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, thanks for your comments. It seems rather pointless to provide inline cites for all the winners, since the external link verifies all of them. It is true that the article is too short for a B-class article. But from what I can see, a featured list usually has less prose than a B-class article. Writing articles for some of the winning titles is something I am definitely considering doing. decltype (talk) 22:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you're using the external links as references, then they should be in the references section, under a "General" section. See List of New Jersey Nets head coaches#References as an example. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:15, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Awadewit

In general, this article needs to be expanded. Here are possible areas for expansion:

Is there a physical award handed out along with the money? A statute or something?
How are the nominees selected precisely? Is there a longlist and then a shortlist?
When are the nominees announced and when is the winner announced?
Have there been any controversies with the nominations and/or winners?
Do the winners usually become famous and sell many more copies of their books than they had before (as with the Nobel)?
Are the winning books frequently translated into English as a result of winning the award?

I hope this helps you! Awadewit (talk) 23:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. I will try to address these when time permits. decltype (talk) 09:13, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
