National Institute of Technology,Tiruchirappalli → National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli — There needs to be a space after the comma. (The new title already exists and is a redirect to the current page) The page has already been renamed several times by removing and adding commas, but there has been no consensus on a correct title. The punctuation is inconsistent within the official website itself as well as with other sources such as this newspaper article. I propose to keep the comma since it serves to separate the name of the institution from its location. Casablanca2000in (talk) 17:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I reproduce below the reasons that I gave here for category renaming of National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli alumni to National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli alumni.

At first, I just wanted to correct the spelling errors in 'Institute' and 'Tiruchirappalli' but later i thought a comma might be appropriate. I did change the head article title to introduce a comma but another editor reasoned in the edit summary that the official webpage didn't display a comma and changed it back. However, I still think a comma is necessary due to the following:

1. It is a National Institute of Technology located at Tiruchirappalli and its name is just National Institute of Technology. The city name is only necessary to differentiate this institue from other National Institutes of Technology located at various other cities. Also please note that other Institutes of National Importance like the Indian Institutes of Technology have the city name as a integral part of the institue name like IITD, IITM etc. But this is not the case for the NITs.

2. Here's the Act of Parliament that recognized NITs as Institutes of National Importance. It clearly mentions the correct name of all the NITs including the comma.[1]

3. The official webpage is maintained by a webteam made of 3rd and 4th year students[2] and although I am sure that they provide accurate info on the website, a missing comma or punctuation wont be a high priority. In this regard it is better to go by the official communication put out by the administration of the institute like tender advts., recruitment notices etc. like here.[3]and[4]

4. One more important pointer to the exact name of the institute is the official contact address provided by it. It makes it clear whether the institute name includes the city name or not. As can be seen here,[5], it mentions the city name seperately from the institute name viz. Natioanal Institute of Technology. In contrast see IITD address here,[6] where they mention the institute name viz. IITD and then mention the city name, New Delhi seperately.

5. I also propose that the names of cities be removed entirely from some NITs wikipage titles that have been named after eminent persons like Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat for the reason that the names of all these institutes are already unique and dont need the city name to further identify/differentiate them.

Further, once a consensus on the name is reached i propose a speedy rename of category names too. [7], [8].-Mgtm7m (talk) 19:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Well reasoned argument. No need to add anything. Skinsmoke (talk) 03:43, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment wouldn't correcting a comma missing a space, just be a speedy move? 70.29.208.247 (talk) 03:54, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
