Named after von Humboldt?

This claim is unsourced. I find this claim strange, since Humboldt was a regional name long before the school was founded. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 16:05, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the Intifada Hall occupation

This article needs a section - even if just a paragraph or two - on the Intifada Hall and East Nelson Hall occupation. Amyipdev (talk) 20:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt → Cal Poly Humboldt – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 11:29, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The full name provides a WP:TITLECON consistent naming convention across all articles on universities and colleges in the United States. Many reliable sources like Forbes and US News and World Report still use the full name. The OP has also made numerous individual RMs on this same issue like this one, which may violate WP:ACROTITLE or use a shorter common name that is rarely used outside a sports/athletic context. Better to stick to the status quo. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:59, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 15:07, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:23, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
