The title would not help readers search for this event accurately. ~~"pro-vice-chancellor" looks weird, and~~ (No longer the case) I don't know whether this is "controversy". --George Ho (talk) 16:55, 7 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

HKU pro-vice-chancellor selection controversy → ? – HKU is not a well-known acronym to people outside Hong Kong and China. The title should have "University of Hong Kong" in it instead. As for "controversy", I'm thinking replacement words, like "incident" or "interference" or "protests". Thoughts? George Ho (talk) 09:44, 10 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom, renaming to University of Hong Kong pro-vice-chancellor selection controversy as per the article itself. Most readers wouldn't know what the abbreviation meant. Unless abbreviations are very well-known they're best avoided in article titles. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:59, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
