School of Tropical Medicine → Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine – I believe that the current title of this article is misleading and that the article should be moved (renamed) the "Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine" since that is the proper name of the institution. Plus, the Culcatta School of Tropical Medicine is only one of various schools of tropical medicine in the world among which are the ones in Puerto Rico and London, therefore this page should serve as a disambiguation page to the tropical schools of medicine which have an article in Wikipedia, ex.:School of Tropical Medicine (Puerto Rico), the London School of Tropical Medicine, the Harvard School of Tropical Medicine, etc..

I suggest creating the disambiguation page at School of Tropical Medicine (disambiguation), so that page can be renamed later. --Orlady (talk) 16:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support renaming. The assertion that the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine is the WP:Primary topic for "School of Tropical Medicine" is not supportable. As Tony notes, numerous institutions have schools known by variants of that name, indicating that no one of them is likely to be the primary topic. Furthermore, the website for the school that is the subject of this article calls it "Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine." Page view statistics are actually much higher for London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (formerly named "London School of Tropical Medicine") and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine than for this school in Calcutta, making it very unlikely that the Calcutta school would be considered a primary topic. It would make much more sense to convert this title to a disambiguation page.
