Why Texas or Austin

SEMATECH seems to in Albany, NY. Why is there Austin and Texas here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.27.167 (talk) 14:12, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because we list the location of the organization's headquarters and not branch offices. Austin was selected for SEMATECH's location when the consortium was founded,[1] and is still listed as by SEMATECH as being their official headquarters.[2] Albany is only the location of SEMATECH-North[3]. --Allen3 ^talk 14:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Albany was merely an add-on to Sematech's activities in the 2000s, Austin is still the headquarters. But appears that semi-professionals if not outright amateurs are promoting "quasi-knowledge" and Albany." Stevenmitchell (talk) 10:07, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. It is an acronym, so might be SEMATECH, SeMaTech, or Sematech in WP Style. Google NGrams shows a preference for lowercase until 2004, for allcaps since then[4]. A commercial news search also shows about 600 hits for SEMATECH in the last year vs. 164 for the downcased version. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:28, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SEMATECH → Sematech – per WP:MOSCAPS. Trivialist (talk) 03:09, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it is an acronym. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 03:39, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If this as the article claims is an acromyn of semiconductor manufacturing technology should't the acronym be SeMaTech not SEMATECH.--174.93.169.157 (talk) 05:25, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Where does it state that the rules of acronymization requires camelcasing? Look at RADAR (originally an acronym, now a word), it was originally allcaps, and it meant RAdio Detection And Ranging, and was not spelt RaDAR. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 03:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; valid acronym. It's not just stylistic. Powers ^T 01:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), MOS:TM, and WP:ALLCAPS. If the name is an acronym, it should be expanded and the article listed by the full name, per WP:TITLEFORMAT. ENeville (talk) 17:42, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- NATO and NASA would disagree with that interpretation. Powers ^T 19:04, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
