Virginia TechVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University – The November 2012 discussion has several strong arguments in favor of never changing the name to Virginia Tech. Georgia Tech is the only example cited that doesn't use its formal name; all other technical schools such as MIT and Caltech use their official names in their article titles. Other schools such as USC and West Point also use their formal name as their article titles. 50.47.244.81 (talk) 03:51, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Other schools such as USC and West Point also use their formal name as their article titles. Even outside of Georgia Tech, there are several that don't; just look at Rutgers or Stanford. As noted above, vt.edu uses "Virginia Tech" everywhere, outside of a copyright notice at the bottom. Even if it wasn't the WP:COMMONNAME, it's used in so many "official" contexts that there's no reason to consider it colloquial. Nohomersryan (talk) 19:37, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
