Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies → Rubicon (UAV unit)Rubicon (UAV unit) – "Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies" is far too ambiguous, its barely a title. It doesnt refer specifically to this unit. Rubicon is a given name, it should be the title, everywhere in the internet it is referred by its given name.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} Its also much more handy and unambiguous as per WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE F.Alexsandr (talk) 22:03, 13 November 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 01:16, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changing it to "Rubikon Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies" is better per ISW

It breaks language norms. Moving "Rubicon" to the front is wrong because it changes the fundamental structure of the official name. In English, the order [Entity] [Description] "[Name]" is standard for this type of organization. So its either "Rubicon (UAV unit)" or "Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies "Rubicon"" but the second one is too large for a title I think. For the same reason that Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov doesnt use the full title "Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov" F.Alexsandr (talk) 18:32, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
