This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
What is correct for these kind of categories?
- "Technische Universität Berlin" ("TU Berlin" for short) is the proper noun of the (german) University (in German) so it is Category:Alumni of Technische Universität Berlin?
- or is it Category:Alumni of the Technical University of Berlin? ("Technical University of Berlin" and "Berlin Institute of Technology" are unofficial names)
- or is Category:Alumni of the Technische Universität Berlin totally ok?
This question also refers to Category:People of TU XXX, Category:Alumni of TU XXX, Category:Faculty of TU XXX and Category:Buildings of TU XXX of all the other "Technische Universitäten" in Category:Technical universities in Germany.
examples:
- Category:Buildings of the Technical University Ilmenau
- Category:Faculty of Technische Universität Dresden vs. Category:Alumni of the Technische Universität Dresden
- Category:Buildings associated with the Darmstadt University of Technology and Category:People associated with the Darmstadt University of Technology
- Category:Alumni of the RWTH Aachen vs. Category:Faculty of RWTH Aachen
- Category:Buildings of TU Clausthal
- Category:Braunschweig University of Technology faculty
- Category:Technische Universität Berlin faculty

- These double-language categories are tricky. There's no perfect solution. But I guess since we're using Technische Universität Berlin because it's the formal name, I'd go with your first suggestion: Category:Alumni of Technische Universität Berlin (i.e. no "the"). I'm not sure that means we should move/rename existing categories, for such a small issue though. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:10, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- some days ago, there was someone going through alumni/faculty/people-categories of universities and colleges, performing moves like Category:George Washington University School of Business alumni to Category:Alumni of George Washington University School of Business (and will do so with others as well; As long as there are moves, I'd be glad to have them with proper names at the end) --Anika (talk) 12:53, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

- I'm going ahead and archiving this. Things have been moved to "X of Technische Universität X" categories for standardisation. — Huntster (t @ c) 03:06, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
