Hi Gerard,
The entity would probably be.... a Lexeme :-)
(yeah, I feel your pain also about merging and the loss of valuable data
at times)

Hoi,
What makes "Nobel prize winner" so special that we need an entity for
that. We have thousands and thousands of awards, the recipients of these
awards deserve in equal measure to be recognised. There are many other
awards like the UN Environment Programme awards that are not even in
Wikidata.
Yes, we could do with more structure, we even need it. The biggest
problem we face is the lack of a conversation about quality. It allows
!@#$% to delete data from Wikidata because of what THEIR Wikipedia has
determined to be the gospel truth. It is why some !@#$ delete content
because their fetish with references. I am quite happy to add references by
the way, it just does not make sense to approach this on an item by item
basis.
I also find that I am spending more time on merging and massaging data.
The most important part is that even though a merged item has a better
quality, either perspective on an item was of value.
Thanks,
GerardM

Another thing I see lacking here is the Common
Concept itself is NOT in
Wikidata currently.
There is no entity that matches "nobel prize winner" currently.
Perhaps one should be created?
Anyways, I have started to help with a simple ShEx for validation that
can be edited by all to help with Aidan's problem.
(feel free to get in there, learn, and improve it, and check the
entities from your query or queries you have, and add more rules or change
them)
