    Oppose speedy Main article was unilaterally moved recently and then debated on User talk:Fippe. TSventon (talk) 00:43, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

    Said discussion resulted in unanimous support for the new name. --Fippe (talk) 06:09, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

    Two editors opposed the move and you supported it, so support was not unanimous. TSventon (talk) 07:08, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

    That was indeed the case initially, but the opposition dropped, which can be gathered from the discussion you linked. --Fippe (talk) 09:19, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

    The discussion shows that the move was not uncontroversial so C2D does not apply and a full discussion is needed. TSventon (talk) 11:29, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

    I am sure you are aware that C2D still applies for a page which was moved "unilaterally to reflect an official renaming which is verified by one or more citations". (The citation in question is "Informationen für die Leibniz Universität Hannover, Ausgabe Juni 2018" (PDF). uni-hannover.de. Leibniz University Hannover. Retrieved 2019-11-05. Gleichzeitig gibt es mit „Leibniz University Hannover" nun auch eine offizielle Übersetzung für die Kurzform des Universitätsnamens. Weitere Einzelheiten regelt das Rundschreiben 22/2018.) C2D also states "If the page names are controversial or ambiguous in any way, then this criterion does not apply" - note the present tense. The page name may have been controversial in the past, but that is not the case currently. --Fippe (talk) 13:59, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

    @Fippe: I agree with @Bermicourt: and @Gerda Arendt: that the article should not have been moved without discussion so I have submitted a technical request to reverse the move. TSventon (talk) 07:02, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

    I doubt you agree with them, otherwise you wouldn't be opposed to the current name. --Fippe (talk) 07:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

  Oppose renaming the categories. The name is new, and very few would actually fit in the overly precise cats. Perhaps we should look very generally at the article names of universities, some changing often, while "university of a city" is more stable. - Our article is Max Reger, not his formal long official birth name, for example. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:55, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

  Comment Leibniz University Hannover has been moved back to University of Hanover per the filed technical request. -- /Alex/₂₁ 15:38, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

  Comment @Fippe: if you submit a move request for the article then these speedy requests can be held until the discussion is concluded. TSventon (talk) 09:55, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
