On 22 December 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved to UHMC. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Move?

If its name has realy changed the article should be moved to its new name. A source would be nice, and particulars like if there is a dash or not in its name. I think not, e.g. move to University of Hawaii Maui College. W Nowicki (talk) 18:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

University of Hawaiʻi Maui College → UHMC – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 14:09, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 14:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:18, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 and ElKevbo said. The proposed title is not sufficiently explanatory to people unfamiliar with the university. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
