Support -- since MDPI is the name used, but it might be useful for the headnote to include an explanation: WP dislikes abbreviations, but short category names are good. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:32, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Triple-intersection of sexual orientation with occupation with racial background. As always, we do not create categories for every possible combination of "people who happen to be X+Y+Z" as soon as that combination happens to describe two or more people; we categorize people on their WP:DEFINING characteristics, not on every individual characteristic or combination of characteristics that they happen to possess. The justification for this category would lie in the provision of reliable sources which discussed "LGBT scientists of colour" as a defined group distinct from both "LGBT scientists" and "scientists of colour" as a whole. But that analysis simply isn't there -- and furthermore, fully half the people here weren't "people of colour" in the relevant or potentially defining sense of being minorities: the entries include an Indian man who lived and worked in India, a Taiwanese woman who lives and works in Taiwan, a white Jew who lives and works in Israel, and a white Spaniard who lived and worked in Spain. But if a person is a member of the majoritarian group in their own country, then they're not defined by the fact that their ethnic background would land as a racial minority in a different country than the one they actually lived in.

Delete scientists don't do science differently due to being in the LGBT community or of color (however defined), they don't have separate awards like Nobel Prizes for LGBT Economist of Color, etc. so WP:CATGRS applies and these are improper. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:29, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

So the use of "Borough" for MBs appears to be local and should be changed to be consistent with the others. I now support using "Metropolitan Borough of...". Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:21, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
