Comment: While there are many sources in the article (of various quality), almost all of them are about the recipients of the award and only two are about the main subject of the article. Of those two sources, one is a primary source and the other is an opinion article. The article also has very little info about the it's subject; it's almost as if the article was "List of Devitt Award recipients". — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 20:48, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
