Nobel Prize was one of the Social sciences and society good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

A new 2024 study published in a Nature sub-journal provides data (that are missing from this 'Nobel Prize' article) on the Nobel Prize winners in science and would be a nice addition to this article, for example at the very end of the 'Statistics' section (or as 'Further reading' at the end of the article). Can you include the following additional one or two sentences below or at least the reference to the new Nature study so interested readers can read about the statistics on the age, gender, affiliation, religion etc. of the Nobel Prize winners?

• More statistics:

• A 2024 study exploring all over 500 nobel-prize-winning scientists illustrates that 7% of nobel-prize discoveries were made by scientists over the age of 50 and only 1% over the age of 60. The gap in years between making nobel-prize discoveries and receiving the award is increasing over time across scientific fields, which illustrates that it is taking longer to recognise and select major breakthroughs.^[1]

Why? Yes it's an alternative word but the article itself is labeled "lobotomy" which is by far the more common word. 2607:FEA8:FF01:4FA6:D808:C1E0:2930:6129 (talk) 14:49, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change this: "The original Nobel Prizes covered five fields:" To: "The Nobel Prize covers five fields:"

Change: "A sixth prize, the Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) in memory of Alfred Nobel"

To (as stated in the correct Swedish description): "In 1968, the Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) established the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, which is often associated with the Nobel Prize. This prize was first awarded in 1969. Although it is not officially a Nobel Prize, its announcement and awarding have been made together with the other prizes."

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want made. Specifically, reliable sources that support your claim that the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences is not officially a Nobel Prize. Day Creature (talk) 16:44, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The following topic should be added to this article...

• A Nobel Institute spokesperson stated: "A Nobel Prize can neither be revoked nor transferred to others. Once the announcement of the laureate(s) has been made, the decision stands for all time. As for the prize money, the laureate(s) are free to dispose of it as they see fit." quoted in article.

It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed the following:

• There are uncited statements in the article, including entire paragraphs
• There's an "unbalanced" orange banner at the top of "Reception and controversies". Is this still valid?
• "Medium" and "history.com" are used as sources in the article, and should be replaced.

Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 05:03, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
