Page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:01, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

– The Facts and Figures page on the School of Medicine website lists the official name of the school as "University of Alabama School of Medicine." The Wikipedia page "University of Alabama School of Medicine" already exists and redirects to the current "UAB School of Medicine" page. The proposed move should switch the article title and the redirect so that the main article is titled "University of Alabama School of Medicine" and so that "UAB School of Medicine" redirects to the "University of Alabama School of Medicine" article. It should be noted that this move may be considered controversial; although the official name of the school has not changed since 1969 when it was named the University of Alabama School of Medicine, the past few years have seen debate over what the official name should be (see: UA and UAB medical school alumni groups compete for members).

University of Alabama School of Medicine → University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Medicine – The official name is University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine. Nowhere on the website, as mentioned in the "talk" section of this article, is it called the University of Alabama School of Medicine. Examples can be seen anywhere on the website including the official code of courses for the department being UABSOM. https://www.uab.edu/medicine/home/education/md-program shows this, as well as the biography for the dean of the University of Alabama of Birmingham School of Medicine https://www.uab.edu/medicine/home/about/leadership/team/selwyn-vickers 71.45.120.102 (talk) 22:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

  • Oppose: Wikipedia never puts both a phrase and its corresponding abbreviation in the title of an article. Also, it doesn't matter what the official name is. What matters is the common name used in independent reliable sources. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:09, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
The "(UAB)" is not necessary to be shown, however no source shows this as the University of Alabama School of Medicine. The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, which is a separate institution, has the University of Alabama School of Medicine which is independent of the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine. Major independent sources such as CNN, Fox, and other independent and reliable sources use the common name "University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine." Not only is the official name the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, the commonly known and used name is too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.249.170.30 (talk • contribs) 19:20, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
  • You say that the University of Alabama School of Medicine (in Tuscaloosa) is independent of the medical school in Birmingham, is that correct? If it is independent, then why does https://www.uab.edu/medicine/home/campuses/tuscaloosa describe the Tuscaloosa institution as a regional campus of the same medical school, and list the dean of the school as being in Birmingham? Also, I notice that the University of Alabama Wikipedia article appears to say that medical students at the Tuscaloosa campus receive their degrees from the same medical school as the one in Birmingham. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:41, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
