Not including all winners?[edit]

I'm curious as to why only selected winners (assumably the most notable among them) are listed. Specifically, I'm wondering whether it would be "wrong" to list "non-notable" winners?

For the article Alfréd Rényi Prize, I listed all winners (including redlinks for many), with the assumption that having won the award would likely be sufficient evidence of notability. Perhaps I should go back and remove some of those redlinks. Justin W Smith talk/stalk 05:50, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a strong reason for not listing all winners. I didn't mainly because I was wary of wholesale copying from the main source. The ones I listed are the ones I've found an existing Wikipedia article for. But I probably missed some of those, even. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:04, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
