List of European Research Council grants awarded to Austrian institutions

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was unaccountably kept back in 2010. WP is not a directory. About half of them are for beginning researchers. Should we include everyone who gets a NSF research grant also. We normally do not even mention research grants in the articles about scientists--that a notable scientist would have received several from somewhere is routine  DGG ( talk ) 14:11, 18 October 2018 (UTC)  DGG ( talk ) 14:12, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ROUTINE, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:V: dearth of in-depth or persistent coverage in independent, secondary reliable sources (in literature or news); as the references indicate, the only availble sourcing is primary and self-published AKA unreliable. By which token it also fails WP:LISTN, as such a lack of coverage suggests that the members of this list have not been discussed as a collective in the context of the subject of the list. ——  SerialNumber  54129  14:22, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete All grants are presumed "highly competitive" until proved otherwise, there being more people wanting money than having it. Absent any evidence that an ERC grant is more prestigious than one from the NSF, NIH, ONR, etc., this list is at most a puff piece. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 23:38, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR WP:NOTLINKFARM WP:NOTIINFO. Just not encyclopedic. Ajf773 (talk) 08:38, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per all the right arguments already put forth. I am happy to see that we do not have other lists in the format . Sam Sailor 17:43, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
