Talk:National Research Council Canada

message: The paragraph commenting on NRC's troubled past with one of his employee (including the external link) should be removed from the article for the following reasons:
:(removed per WP:BLP)
# Because of all of the above, it seems that this was not written in good faith but more to publicize a dispute. This has no room in this Encyclopedia.

thread_title: NRC's troubled past

message: It's my opinion that listing Grover in this article is crucial.  The racial discrimination that took place at NRC is a sad, but major part of their past, and it wasn't limited to just Grover.  The only thing you heard about NRC in the early nineties was related to systemic racial discrimination.  Saying that Dr. Chander P. Grover disputes the fairness of hiring policies is a misstatement (don't recall him ever saying that in the media).  I think it's more fair to say that NRC was repetitively found guilty of racial discrimination against Grover and other employees, and was reprimanded for their systemic racial discrimination. -- Barry Zuckerkorn 20:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I think there were other findings of racial discrimination against NRC, not just the 1992 CHRC decision, weren't there 2 other findings, and other scientists involved, including Anthony Liu? Didn't a former president admit systemic discimination before a parliamentary subcommittee? -- Barry Zuckerkorn 20:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Relevancy of Grover to NRC

message: Most of the institute pages don't exist - is it useful to have them in as wiki links, since most of them just lead to an empty edit page?  Rakerman (talk) 18:13, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (February 2018) 

message: The title was moved to National Research Council Canada in January, from National Research Council (Canada). I declined an "uncontroversial" request to move it to National Research Council of Canada. Both are used in official sources and so the title needs to be discussed before another move.

replies: text: The link I provided in the reasoning shows that "of Canada" is the proper name, apparently... I made the initial move based on what I saw in sources, and this request when the official/legal name was pointed out through the recent edit by User:Itamblyn. I assumed there was little to no likelihood of any response, let alone discussion or controversy, but I'm fine with either title to be honest. Figured I'd just ask for the mop. - Floydian τ ¢ 01:41, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's unclear (to me, at least) when (or even if) the name was officially changed from "National Research Council of Canada" to "National Research Council Canada". The latter form seems inspired by the banner which came into use a long time ago. Sadly, the History pages of the NRC Web pages are silent on this matter. Urhixidur (talk) 23:18, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  The name of the organization is very clearly defined in legislation: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/n-15/page-1.html National Research Council Canada is not the name of the organization, even if someone wants it to be. It doesn't matter what a marketing department or banner producer calls it, it is not the official name. The official name is National Research Council of Canada.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itamblyn (talk • contribs) 23:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
