I concur with the request to move the page title to ORNL DAAC. I believe we've resolved the promotional issues referenced by Superp above. Disclaimer: the person making the most recent edits and I are employed by the subject (I'm the manager/principal investigator for the project). Our intent is to be factually correct and provide relevant information for this particular aspect of the NASA Earth Observing System. Bew_TN (talk) 13:50, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC → ORNL DAAC – ORNL DAAC is the name commonly used to refer to the organization, not Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC as written. The organization is managed by UT-Battelle and housed at the ORNL, but the DAAC is a NASA-funded entity. Ornldaac (talk) 14:35, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Acronyms in titles is jargon. Frequency of use of jargon does not justify the jargon.  Titles stand alone, so the acronyms are not explained. Consistency with the parent article, Oak Ridge National Laboratory is another simple way to look at this.
 * “NASA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC)” is a good introduction. “NASA” alone is well enough known to not need definition on first use.
 * This article should be renamed to Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center.

I understand your reasoning, SmokeyJoe. I'd suggest a rename to Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center with a redirect from ORNL DAAC. Ornldaac (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC → Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center – Full name of organization. Ornldaac (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:ABBR. DAAC is not a widely enough known acronym. - Station1 (talk) 19:57, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. The full name is better in this situation.  Appropriate redirects can be created for any combination of abbreviations to help readers find the article via various search terms.  Peacock (talk) 15:42, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
