European University of Madrid → European University – The European University of Madrid has expanded with campuses in other parts of Spain and now uses the branding "Universidad Europea" or "European University". Folkezoft (talk) 17:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It's a common name for universities in Europe and there's a disambiguation page for that very reason. Killuminator (talk) 17:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you make a good point, but I don't think the page should stay as the European University of Madrid as most sources don't use that name. Would Universidad Europea be a better alternative? Folkezoft (talk) 17:53, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, it appears the university itself uses "Universidad Europea" in English, so at minimum the proposed name isn't recognised merely an apparent generated translation and needs to proven to be used, let alone common. The few English sources in the article appear to use the current article name or the Spanish name, not the proposed. Neutral on whether "Universidad Europea" or "European University of Madrid" should be used as no WP:COMMONNAME argument, however I would note the current name appears to now be old, so comes under WP:NAMECHANGES if proven.

The redirect of European University to EU Business School probably should be reviewed too, as this article at least used to start with the term, so potential dab as it actually isn't one right now. Dank Jae 21:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
