This article is one of many that were apparently targetted by someone working from an RIT IP address. This person is indiscriminately adding "notability" and "no footnote" tags to anything and everything associated with RIT. While this article (like any article) could surely be improved, this is not the way to do it.129.21.40.195 (talk) 12:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Rochester Institute of Technology - DubaiRochester Institute of Technology of Dubai – This is the official name of the campus, per their official website. I haven't seen "Rochester Institute of Technology - Dubai" used anywhere besides this article.

Note: There's also an argument to be made for renaming this article to "RIT Dubai", to match RIT Kosovo and Rochester Institute of Technology Croatia (which I have proposed be moved to RIT Croatia). However, I note that, whereas the official websites of RIT Kosovo and RIT Croatia use "RIT Kosovo" and "RIT Croatia" everywhere, RIT Dubai does use the longer name in the header of its website (though it uses "RIT Dubai" just about everywhere else). –IagoQnsi (talk) 19:42, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Appears to be the common name in English language reliable sources, in addition to being more commonly used as the official name (although as the nomination notes, unlike other pages in this case the current title appears to at least be in use).--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:14, 26 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
