This is a contested technical request (permalink). Ahecht (TALK

See WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIAL. The shorter version of the name seems like a better title than the new official version. --Ahecht (TALK

• Opppose: Proposed name change fails to demonstrate WP:COMMONNAME. An appeal to WP:OFFICIALNAME is not sufficient grounds for a change of name. See WP:TITLE for the criteria for article titles. Epistulae ad Familiares (talk) 15:17, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. May be its official name; highly unlikely to be its common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Punjab Sports University → The Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University – It is a state university according to Indian higher education statutory body University Grants Commission (India). In India a state university is established by an act passed by a state assembly. In this university's case the act has a line on page 4 "There shall be established a University by the name of “The Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University”." 2405:204:A323:AB94:476D:A22A:1A68:50F2 (talk) 15:50, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose Nothing changed since this was discussed a month ago. We prefer to use the common name per WP:COMMONNAME. Not to mention that the nominator uses sock-puppetry to evade a block. --Muhandes (talk) 15:57, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. Nothing has changed since the last RM. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Gaming the Name

IP editors have been gaming the name of this university. I have requested that the page be semi-protected indefinitely to prevent side-door moves by inserting redirects at the top of the page. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Note, this is most likely the work of Jpsorts and socks. --Muhandes (talk) 08:06, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Please Change "name = Punjab Sports University"

     with

"name = Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University"

&

remove "Punjab Sports University, officially ".

because both of them reffer to a name which is not official. Thanks. 2409:4063:4E1E:A074:5EBB:5883:9541:8D27 (talk) 14:32, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
