Talk:Michigan State University

Why I merged another page to this one

Michigan State University Investment Office is barely a stub. The office is located on campus, its not an independent body, it doesn't oversee the assets of anything else.

The article is AI-generated and the creator openly disclosed that in his edit summary of that page. After ripping out the fake AI-generated sources there was only one source left. If you feel the section on the investment office should be removed and yeeted over the back wall, feel free! Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 23:55, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Michigan State University → Michigan StateMichigan State – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 14:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

• 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) 14:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 14:55, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:16, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:TITLEFORMAT#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:ACROTITLE, and what Zzyzx11 and ElKevbo said. I see no reason why we need to make the title more ambiguous, since the proposed title is literally also the name of a state. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:33, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Campus

From these maps it seems there is a distinction between the main campus and the full campus. The main campus is in East Lansing (which is why I kept the lead as is) but the full campus extends into multiple municipalities. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:19, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
