The result of the move request was: Moved to The Ruskin, Lancaster per sentiment of the nom and also analysis by Ham II — Amakuru (talk) 23:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Ruskin - Library, Museum and Research Centre → The Ruskin (Lancaster University) – Currently, "The Ruskin" redirects to Ruskin School of Art, which gets 95% of the pageviews of the two topics. The part of this title after the spaced hyphen seems like an explanation rather than part of the common name of the institution. It would be more helpful to readers to make it clear that this institution is the Ruskin at Lancaster University rather than the one at University of Oxford. The website of the institution itself just calls it "The Ruskin", sometimes with "Museum & Research Centre" in a smaller font below the main title (without "Library"), and adding "Library" in only one place I could find. (By the way, Jarry1250's tool finds about 850 article titles on Wikipedia that include spaced hyphens, and all of them seem inappropriate.) —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:08, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to The Ruskin, Lancaster or The Ruskin, Lancaster University. Comma-separated disambiguation is more common for places in Britain, and my first preference is for the more WP:CONCISE title. Other examples of university museums with disambiguating article titles are the Egypt Centre, Swansea University; the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge; the Museum of Classical Archaeology, Cambridge; and the History of Science Museum, Oxford. (Note the inconsistency of the two Cambridge ones; apparently that's because of a perceived need to differentiate the MAA from the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but more concision there might still be better.)
