Official name of Kellogg
Hello Wikipedia community. There seems to be disagreement over the official name of the Kellogg School. To avoid constant page moves, please post your thoughts along with corresponding sources. -Hunsman (talk)
 * Per https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/executive-education/take-action/contact-us.aspx, the name is Kellogg School of Management. This recent article calls it "Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management". The only place that uses the form it was recently moved to seems to be the website header. Even the footer uses the short form.-- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:27, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Kellogg School of Management → Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University – Refer to community discussion. Hunsman (talk) 04:30, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

I believe the official name of the Kellogg School is "Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University" as referred to by multiple news articles and the school's website itself. The official name is usually shortened to "Kellogg School of Management" even by school officials because of its unusually long name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hunsman (talk • contribs) 04:37, 10 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose - see my comment above. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:08, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * See also https://www.forbes.com/colleges/northwestern-university/kellogg-school-of-management/, which lists it as "Northwestern University", then "Kellogg School of Managment". -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:28, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * And https://www.economist.com/whichmba/executive-mba-ranking/2015/northwestern-university-kellogg-school-management, "Northwestern University – Kellogg School of Management" -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:32, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The completely-unciteable phone call I just made to the contact number on the website leads me to believe that "Kellogg School of Management" is the name of the school, but since it's at Northwestern (and it's in the logo), it's not improper to refer to it as KSoMaNU. If we needed a disambiguator, that would be a natural one, but since we don't need the disambig, we should go with the school name alone, in my opinion. -- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:03, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose While we take a subject's official or legal name into consideration and always include them in the text of articles, our primary policy about article titles focuses on what is most commonly used. Even on the subject's webpage it appears that the current title is the one most commonly used. ElKevbo (talk) 16:37, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Official name and/or marketing name does not necessarily equate to common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:56, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
