Undiscussed removal of The University of California, 1868-1968 by Stadtman

Latest comment: 3 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Can the editor(s) who want to remove The University of California, 1868-1968 by Verne A. Stadtman please share their objections to this source? It's published by a reliable publisher so I'm not sure why you are objecting to it. ElKevbo (talk) 23:40, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Fr like y'all are like... GIRL?! 2601:204:D100:C5A0:FFD0:FA8:B9D:996 (talk) 02:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I concur with ElKevbo. There is no reason to remove this source when the publisher is clearly reliable (McGrawHill) and the source remains available and readily accessible. --Coolcaesar (talk) 17:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Latest comment: 19 days ago7 comments7 people in discussion

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved per WP:SNOW, considered in the context of the 100+ RMs proposed at once by this user. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:59, 24 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

University of California, Davis → UC Davis – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 11:15, 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) 14:55, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 15:09, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:25, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oppose for the reasons articulated above. --Coolcaesar (talk) 18:42, 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) 22:40, 23 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
