 * Delete No evidence for its existence. DuncanHill (talk) 19:15, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Poznań University of Technology. The odds are good this was the intended target anyway, and the name is used, if rarely: . Ping User:DuncanHill so they can reconsider their delete vote. Ps. In all honestly, while I am not fond of redirecting without discussion, this is the case where I'd support skipping AfD and redirecting to to the target the nominator has identified already (the name is used, the correct target seems obvious, why discuss this here?).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:09, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't like the idea of propagating wrong names via Wikipedia. Especially keeping in mind that there are quite a few universities, museums, awards, etc, with very similar names. And it is not even "university" in Polish, it is Politechnika Poznańska. Lembit Staan (talk) 06:29, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wrong names should not be mentioned in the article unless they are popular enough, but redirects are useful. Someone looking for the wrong term will be guided to the correct one rather then left puzzled. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:31, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not just a "wrong name", it claims to be in a city a hundred km from the real university. It should be deleted. DuncanHill (talk) 08:34, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If it becomes a redirect, any errors within it will be gone. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 09:12, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * @BarrelProof Ah, I missed the part about Kalisz. Well, it's possible the creator had in mind some school in Kalisz, or a department or campus; I could speculate. Anyway, the first GScholar link is for a professor at the PUT, some foreign authors miscredited the name of his workplace. I still think redirecting is the best solution.

 * Redirect with an explicit R from incorrect name. Thirteen years of an unsourced and inaccurate one-sentence stub!? User:力 (power~enwiki,  π,  ν ) 18:17, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
