I can't figure out how to change the page title. The school was known as Concordia -- Fort Wayne in the Missouri Synod. Would recommend changing the title to Concordia College (Fort Wayne, Indiana) CTSmithre (talk) 21:59, 19 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Although I don't remember exactly where I read this, I believe the general rule for disambiguation in article titles is to use the least specific distinguishing description necessary. Usually for colleges in the United States that would be the state level unless there is more than one such entity in a state. For example, in Indiana there are Bethel University (Indiana), Canterbury College (Indiana), Franklin College (Indiana), Harrison College (Indiana), Holy Cross College (Indiana), Manchester University (Indiana), Marian University (Indiana), Saint Joseph's College (Indiana), and [[Saint Mary's College (Indiana). The only Indiana disambiguated college names that don't follow that pattern are International Business College (Fort Wayne, Indiana) and International Business College (Indianapolis), which use the city name because "Indiana" is not sufficient. However, you could always create a redirect to accomplish what you want. Indyguy (talk) 00:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
