Tecnológico de Costa Rica
Hi, I reverted your edits, the Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica (ITCR) changed its name, logos and abbreviation YEARS ago, it is now just Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC), the "Instituto" word was dropped, it isn't part of its Spanish name therefore the English translation shouldn't include it. --Roqz (talk) 15:04, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Just another note, as per Naming conventions (use English) and Official names, the branding/marketing/popular name has precedence over the juridical name, I don't like the translation to english either (perhaps Costa Rica Technological is more appropriate), and would like to keep the "Institute" as part of the name (as an alumni of more than 10 years ago, my diploma does say ITCR), but they changed it and Wikipedia should adapt to it. Also, I added a section in history about the name change. --Roqz (talk) 16:08, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi. According to the Official style guide of TEC(page 14), the name in English should be Costa Rica Institute of Technology. The objective of this is to coincide with the name used in scientific publications made by TEC researchers. Some examples of post-2010 publications using the correct English name Quecomelamaquina (talk) 18:45, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * (2016) e-Bridge 3.0: A Strategic Approach to Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges in Costa Rica
 * (2017) Going deeper in the automated identification of Herbarium specimens
 * (2017) Barriers and Motivations for Construction WasteReduction Practices in Costa Rica
 * Thanks! I was looking for a reference like that, I will make the proper changes, and cite this reference. --Roqz (talk) 18:50, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Costa Rica Institute of Technology → Technological of Costa Rica – Name and institutional identity changed (See WP:NAMECHANGES) since 2010, HOWEVER as per WP:ENGLISH a good english translation is required, I request the input of native english speakers, some alternatives could be:
 * Technological of Costa Rica
 * Technologic of Costa Rica
 * Costa Rica Technologic
 * Costa Rica Technological

Official identity guide of TEC:
 * Institutional Identity Manual - Quick Guide

Some random secondary sources (in spanish) using the 'new' name, for many years now:
 * (2020) Tecnológico de Costa Rica recibe sello de calidad europeo como institución académica
 * (2018) Sedes del TEC en San José y Cartago con mejoras
 * (2017) TEC motivará a estudiantes sobre hábitos conservacionistas
 * (2016) 5 questions for Costa Rican video game creator Claudio Pinto (in English, but using Spanish name of the institution and not a translation) Roqz (talk) 17:38, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

According to the Official style guide of the university the name in English is Costa Rica Institute of Technology. As a result, there should not be any name change. Quecomelamaquina (talk) 18:48, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * As as source was provided, there is consensus that the English name shouldn't be changed. --Roqz (talk) 19:06, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Costa Rica Institute of Technology → Technological of Costa Rica – name changed since 2010, "Instituto" word was dropped, somebody reverted to the old name disregarding the new brand, and now I can't do a simple move, the current name and brand can be checked at www.tec.ac.cr, and a couple of (in spanish) secondary sources using the current name: Tecnológico de Costa Rica cumple 47 años de impulsar el conocimiento, TEC no aplicará examen de admisión: Así será el nuevo mecanismo de selección Roqz (talk) 15:44, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:23, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I proposed the move, but User:Quecomelamaquina provided an official statement of the proper name in English, and I now stand by that properly referenced nomenclature and updated the article accordingly and no longer will pursue the article move/rename, could you help us in removing the requested move notice? Thanks. --Roqz (talk) 21:12, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
