Jon Driver
Doctoral students need to meet wp:notability (people) to be listed. The entries either need to link to a Wiki article or to a citations clearly demonstrating notability. After first mention of name, usually, only the surname should be used. MOS:SURNAME. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 05:10, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I moved Driver's full name to the article lead where it should be per wp:SURNAME.
 * Your additions of Doctoral students and Other notable students probably doesn't meet wp:notability (people) or wp:notability (academics). My understanding is if they are notable to be listed under these categories, they are notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Don't quote me on that! If it was up to me, Wikipedia would consider any scientist that has made a reasonable contribution to their field as being notable. Unfortunately, the standard allows anybody who can't sing, but can make adolescents and teens swoon as notable, but not the vast majority of scientists. Just listing one's institution link or CV is unlikely to be considered an indication of notability. I won't delete them, but there many who would. If you can,
 * I would recommend using, , etc. to format a link and generally avoid using the Jon Driver Prize format. As a minimum, I would recommend the |url=, |title=, |work=, (authors) |last1=, |first1=, |last2=, |first2= ..., |date= (if using a news article), and |accessdate= Use 31 December 2020 as the date format. The above might be formatted as:
 * Jon Driver Prize.
 * No author, no publication date, Which generates:
 * Jon Driver Prize.
 * For more info, see wp:citing sources wp:inline citation help:referencing for beginners. I need to read and understand wp:Avoid instruction creep! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 00:42, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
