Munich School of Political Science → Bavarian School of Public Policy – The current name is not the offical english translation of the german version (Hochschule für Politik München). As you may see, the offical english translation is: Bavarian School of Public Policy. As a reference please visit the offical english website: http://www.hfp.tum.de/en/contact/ Agamben2004 (talk) 15:40, 1 December 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 15:28, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Official name and WP:COMMONNAME can differ. See also this reference and this book Agathoclea (talk) 13:22, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see in this reference and the official law governing the Bavarian School of Public Policy on page 6 here the name has to be Bavarian School of Public Policy Flo1v9 (talk) 09:48, 6 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flo1v9 (talk • contribs) 11:08, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. No valid rationale. No evidence that the proposed target is the common name in English. No evidence of any attempt to read or understand either WP:AT or the instructions at WP:RM. No need to waste any more time on it. Andrewa (talk) 17:10, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The "Official" Translation of the School Matters

According to my knowledge of the German language, "Bavarian School of Public Policy" is no verbatim translation of "Hochschule fuer Politik Muenchen." However, here one has to take into account how the school translates its name. One can assume that it did not do so by dicing. So, I would suggest to rename the web page as:"Bavarian School of Public Policy" but as under title in brackets: "Munich School of Political Science" so that the readers realize that both names indicate to the same facility. First, a reader certainly translates from the German, verbatim. So, everybody must know that it is about the (same) school he is looking for. Schinkelburg (talk) 23:50, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I can find no evidence that HfP has a known English name. "Bavarian School of Public Policy" seems to have been inserted into German Wiki by this edit in 2014, and I can find no sources to justify it. Propose renaming the article to Hochschule für Politik München. "Munich School of Political Science" is an inaccurate translation of the German name. I can find no evidence that there is a known English name for HfP, and inventing a translation - such as "Munich School of Political Science" - is WP:OR.
