Support, makes sense to keep things matched. --Randykitty (talk) 09:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
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]
MDPI is the actual name of the organization though. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:11, 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 (assuming all are already in appropriate parent categories) - it is not even an intersection as we don't have Category:Scientists of color or Category:People of color (fortunately). We do have these, a few of which are also perhaps dubious. Oculi (talk) 16:52, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 09:42, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
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]

Is it worth considering renaming the others then? The reason was apparently because they are easier to add with hotcat. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:56, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There was an earlier cfd for London which simply used the article names: Sept 2008. Oculi (talk) 11:18, 3 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]
Oppose -- In theory there is a conflict with the village of Knowsley, Merseyside, but it already comes under this category as a grandchild, so that the conflict is an imagined one, not a real one. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:37, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It wouldn't be able to go through C2D because it would be ambiguous and because of this discussion, in addition because the wider district article would still be at Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:49, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
