Contest 28 April 2017
With all due respect: the institution's chosen self-designation is "Deggendorf Institute of Technology", which is visible on the institutional website: https://www.th-deg.de/en/university. This corporate rebranding reflects the fact the university has officially been granted by the Bavarian Government the German-language title/designation of a "Technische Hochschule" subsequent to their winning of a federal state-wide competition for this title. A "Technische Hochschule" is not a standard "Fachhochschule" (University of Applied Sciences) anymore. There is not point whatsoever in insisting in an outdated and now simply inaccurate name. Strot (talk) 16:28, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
 * You should open a move discussion as I did above, but with the new information. Hopefully enough users will answer as the last discussion did not attract many users. Aloneinthewild (talk) 10:50, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi . I reverted you not because I disagreed with why you did it, but because of how you did it. is spot on. Open a move discussion. I'm sure the consensus, if your info is correct, will be to move the article. If the institution has indeed changed its name, then the article name should be changed. But the correct process would be to "move" the article title, rather than creating a redirect.  Onel 5969  TT me 11:46, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi everyone. So it is with pleasure that I hereby re-open the move discussion pointing at the above information. The institution's standard page should definitely be (re-named or moved to) "Deggendorf Institute of Technology". Strot (talk) 12:36, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Page update request from MartinaHeim, April 2021
I'm requesting updates for the Wikipedia page of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology as the information currently displays numbers and info from 2016. I've taken out and re-phrased paragraphs that could sound like they're intended for marketing purposes. This update focuses on the most recent numbers of students and our whole range of degrees that we offer. It would be great if someone would update the page or get in touch with me if there are any further questions. Thank you!
