EirSat-1 → EIRSAT-1 – EIRSAT-1 stands for the Educational Irish Research SATellite-1 and therefore should be in block capitals. References to this can be found in numerous articles^[1], ^[2] including those referenced in the article itself ^[3] Lanasalmon (talk) 21:29, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: No consensus, which in this case results in the move going through as requested, because it was the stable title after an uncontested RM.(non-admin closure) TonyBallioni (talk) 04:40, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I think Wikipedia generally prefers full names unless there is evidence that the short name is the WP:COMMONNAME. I would, however, support a move to Educational Irish Research Satellite 1. GeoffreyT2000 ^{(talk, contribs)} 13:54, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support - restore to the article's previous consensus name, as established in the above RM. It is primarily known by the acronym, not by the full spelled out version.[1][2][3] — Amakuru (talk) 13:15, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
