replies: text: I believe the title University of Louvain, even though it is the formal English name of the university, would only bring more confusion to all the different articles present on Wikipedia. In that case, it should absolutely be University of Louvain (UCLouvain). In the meantime, the article on the French Wikipedia has been renamed to UCLouvain. As the articles concerning the Dutch-speaking university have also mostly been renamed to the new abbreviation KU Leuven, I'd rename Université catholique de Louvain to UCLouvain, if anything. --PCC7500 (talk) 17:02, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

message: The university has established formal guidelines that continue the new 2018 "UCLouvain" rebranding. They should also to bring less ambiguity with the KU Leuven which has contributed to the guidelines.
In English, the university should be called University of Louvain (this was already the case for a very long time but the rule wasn't strictly applied). In general, the institution uses the name UCLouvain, even in French ; while the legal title stays Université catholique de Louvain to avoid changing federal laws. In parallel, the KU Leuven has decided to use its title as a full name for all situations (while keeping its legal title Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven for the same reasons.) The KU Leuven wikipedia page has already been renamed a few years ago. To sum up: KU Leuven is always named KU Leuven and UCLouvain is called University of Louvain in English, UCLouvain (or UCLouvain Université/University/...) in any other language. My question now is: could we also rename this page to University of Louvain? Or for example University of Louvain (UCLouvain)? The French denomination leads to many mistakes even in official sources, and Wikipedia is an influent instrument in this process.

replies: text:  Are you sure this article isn't a joke?  Timothy Radcliffe is a living, and moderately notable, person.  He was the master-general of the Dominican Order from 1992 to 2001, and has written a few books, but it's hard to imagine why someone would name a college after him.  A google search for "International College Timothy Radcliffe" seems to show nothing but its Wikipedia page and other pages derived from it.  If this college has no website and no documentation showing it actually exists, I think that it is a candidate for speedy delete, not a candidate for merging into the Louvain page. — Lawrence King (talk) 09:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

text:  I nominated it for speedy delete; if you object please visit Talk:International College Timothy Radcliffe. — Lawrence King (talk) 23:15, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Four hours before your deletion I did visit Talk:International College Timothy Radcliffe and carefully explained, with links to the websites of the university and the college, that this institution is a hall of residence and social centre for international students run under Dominican auspices, and does in fact exist. I further stated (as DuncanBCS also did in May) that the information should be retained as a paragraph of this article, rather than as a separate entry. I trust you will now restore the information? - --Paularblaster (talk) 14:47, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this the Louvain university that the Irish fled to in huge numbers in the early seventeenth century? The subject of this large conference: http://www.louvain400.eu/index.shtml ? If so, there should be at least some identification in this article. 86.42.71.111 (talk) 03:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
