Tadeusz Kościuszko University of Technology → Cracow University of Technology – This is the official name of the University according to their website. Cities and universities named after them don't need to have the same name on Wikipedia, see Peking University and Beijing, China Genealogizer (talk) 19:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose. Tadeusz Kościuszko is the pre-eminent Polish national historical figure and, on the University's English-language website, his bust appears in the foreground and the University in the background. The institution's full name, as presented within the website, is Tadeusz Kościuszko Cracow University of Technology.

As for the city's name, the Polish capital, Warszawa, is known in the English-speaking world as Warsaw, while Poland's historic capital, known in English as Cracow, is now generally referenced by its Polish name, Kraków, which is the name used in the city's English Wikipedia article, although some Polish educational outlets prefer to use the traditional English-language form when it is aimed at English speakers.

The Polish Wikipedia's entry for the institution certainly retains Kościuszko's name as well as Kraków's Polish name in the main title header. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 05:05, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose per Roman Spinner. Spelling Cracow is nowadays considered antiquated in the English world. Besides, the name of patron takes precedence if the university chooses to be named after someone. Examples include Universidad Francisco de Vitoria named after philosopher Francisco de Vitoria, and Universidad Camilo José Cela named after Nobel Literature Prize winner Camilo José Cela among many similar others.

How about "Tadeusz Kościuszko Cracow University of Technology", then. And "Cracow" is not archaic, the way Plescow or Ratisbon is. It is still the only name used by the Oxford English Dictionary (which gives "Kraków" as the Polish name, but not an English variant), and still shows up in news articles.

University's name discussion once again

On the university's international relationships office website (http://iro.pk.edu.pl/about/) English name is presented as Cracow University of Technology. I think a related article should be named as university's officials wants their organization to be called. This naming discrepancy is really confusing and may mislead interested people. I certainly got misled by this.194.0.251.66 (talk) 17:13, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
