Prominent alum, U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu

Didn't U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu graduate from LSU? According to the Wikipedia page on Sen. Landrieu, she did. It would seem that she ought to be included in that section.

Louisiana State University → Louisiana State – WP:COMMONNAME. Theparties (talk) 14:15, 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) 14:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as unnecessary, unwise, and confusing for readers. ElKevbo (talk) 14:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per the comments of Zzyzx11. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 16:17, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
