Goodness, I remember visiting Bill Characklis way back when to discuss filming, etc. What a distance the program has covered! --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:20, 13 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. (non-admin closure) -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:33, 24 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Center for Biofilm Engineering → Center for Biofilm Engineering - Montana State University – Renaming suggested in order to better align Center for Biofilm Engineering with its institutional home, Montana State University. The proposed renaming does not change the identity of the entry. Rather, the renaming helps to further disambiguate and better define Center for Biofilm Engineering. – Jdshanks (talk) 19:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Jdshanks: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:19, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Or move to Center for Biofilm Engineering, Montana State University? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:19, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose – Seems excessive. Isn't the name of center plenty precise? Are there other places with similar names? Dicklyon (talk) 03:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Including the university name as a component of the entry title is not an uncommon practice. For example, Stanford University Bio-X Initiative, MIT Media Lab, Harvard innovation lab, Berkeley Center for New Media each include the university name in the entry title. Rather than view this as excessive, adding the university name to the entry title seems to help further clarify that Center for Biofilm Engineering is a component of Montana State University. I believe either Center_for_Biofilm_Engineering_-_Montana_State_University or Center for Biofilm Engineering, Montana State University as suggested by @Anthony Appleyard: are both suitable options.Jdshanks (talk) 14:42, 18 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose per COMMONNAME. --QEDK (T ☕ C) 16:06, 21 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Comment this seems excessive, can we go with "MSU Center for Biofilm Engineering" instead? Insert CleverPhrase Here 06:23, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. I'm not seeing any reason that this title needs to be disambiguated, and the current title is more concise. kennethaw88 • talk 03:29, 24 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
