The noun "data" is plural?
I think the noun "data" is plural. The singular form, which is rarely used, is datum. So these data prove (and not this data proves)!

You are correct; data is a plural form of the noun datum. Some consider this an antiquated construction, however, and many people now accept data as a singular and plural form.
